What I think those of us need to do who are not straight and/or whose porn represents the kind of gender identities and sexual preferences that have made us targets for hate crimes is to focus on WHY we would list a PO Box instead of a place where stalkers and hatemongers could find us. This is a government that refuses to give queer people, transgendered people, etc. equal rights and thinks it's asking for "special" rights to treat hate crimes with the severity they deserve; forcing us to mapquest our homes/places of business leaves us incredibly vulnerable to violent crimes that are far more problematic than adult pornography. Instead of protecting people, the feds are making us more vulnerable.

Less than half of the reported rapes in our country lead to an ARREST, let alone a conviction. That alone horrifies me as a woman, but the notion that I should invite strangers to my home or wherever I do my villified and stigmatized work is doubly horrifying.

Anyway, awesome point from a perspective that few people in this industry seem to grasp.
