From a Health and Safety perspective the vote was somewhat understandable. How many other jobs potentially expose workers to HIV/STDs like porn does?
I've observed over the years that many people in the adult industry think with their pocketbooks and not with their hearts and minds, and worse still they put profits before people.
Whining about nanny-state laws, when the law's sponsors claim it is designed to protect the health and safety of performers, is probably not going to sway many people outside of the adult industry, least of all State legislators.
Would have been nice to see the adult industry get ahead on this battle and take the lead in demonstrating that we care about our performers. Once the law passes the State Senate, producers all over California will be affected, myself included.
