Later that summer, several American "family" groups with a heavily religious bent got wind of the proposal and started lobbying the US Department of Commerce, which oversees ICANN, to get .xxx killed.

Government emails released to ICM under the Freedom of Information Act show that Commerce took this right-wing outrage very seriously.
Isn't it hilarious and ironic that the religious whackos are the ones who saved us from dot xxx?
