it's okay... .XXX "if passed" would almost certainly end up in US federal courts as an unfair restriction of free speech. There is no justification for a private company putting a 900% tax on adult sites (going from $7 per domain to $75 per domain).

There there would be the wave of "previous ownership" lawsuits, the inevitable blockages of everything adult by ISPs, common carriers, and the owners of various data interchanges. I can picture hosting companies getting their IP blocks dropped by christian owned service providers, who will just by accident happen to drop the routes randomly. I can see these hosting companies basically having to stop hosting any adult material in order to keep their non-adult customers in connectivity.

Every step of the way, .XXX facilitates denial of free speech, and as such, will easily be defeated if ever passed by ICANN. They are smart enough to know that they can't make it happen, so they will come up with another excuse to make it not happen.

If it does pass, you can expect the US government to also move against it.
