Porn site xHam*** blocks North Carolina users to protest anti-LGBT law

North Carolina has faced widespread outrage after passing a law that requires transgender people to use public restrooms based on the genders listed on their birth certificates, while also prohibiting new anti-discrimination protections for the LGBT community from being passed. Several companies and entertainers have already pledged to boycott North Carolina, and there's now one more to add to the list: the porn website xHam***, which is blocking users in the state from viewing porn until the controversial law is repealed.

North Carolina has faced widespread outrage after passing a law that requires transgender people to use public restrooms based on the genders listed on their birth certificates, while also prohibiting new anti-discrimination protections for the LGBT community from being passed. Several companies and entertainers have already pledged to boycott North Carolina, and there's now one more to add to the list: the porn website xHam***, which is blocking users in the state from viewing porn until the controversial law is repealed.

As reported by The Huffington Post, North Carolina visitors to the popular site were met with a black screen early Monday afternoon, which xHam*** plans to replace with a petition to repeal the law, a spokesperson for the site told the Post.

"We have spent the last 50 years fighting for equality for everyone and these laws are discriminatory which xHam*** does not tolerate," the spokesperson said in a statement to the Post. "Judging by the stats of what you North Carolinians watch, we feel this punishment is a severe one. We will not standby and pump revenue into a system that promotes this type of garbage. We respect all sexualities and embrace them."

Boycotts have proven to be a popular form of protest against the legislation, with Bruce Springsteen recently canceling a concert in the state to protest the law and PayPal ending its plans to open a global operations center. But although the technique is often used for purposes such as copyright protection, denying users content in the United States as a form of political protest is something seen far less often.

Didn't know about this... So someone who may look completely like a woman may have to use the male bathroom and vice versa... How do you enforce this rule, and when people see a man in the female bathrooms or the opposite aren't people gonna freak? Are they gonna automatically assume that the person is trans? The law is completely impractical and unenforceable, you'll get people who are born male going to the female bathrooms pretending to be trans hoping to get a sneak peak or something....

So stupid

Actually if anything I'd assume that's exactly what this law was trying to prevent...

It's trying to stop people who are born male from going into the female bathrooms yes, but with this law meaning people who may look male have to go in the female bathrooms the people who are born male can pretend they were born female, it solves nothing xD

It just means both bathrooms can have people in them that look like both men and women.

eh, with or without the law they'll be unsolved problems with it. Maybe they should have just added a law requiring a third bathroom specifically for trans people.

Didn't Southpark already do an episode on this a year or two ago?



From what I hear it is just a pop up, but still, good for them.

gayrights movement is beyond outrageous. This violates the spirit of federalism and undermines the entire concept of democracy.

Nothing but a subversive stratagem to force tolerance and Marxist values.



Has anyone here ever had sex at all?

This has nothing to do with Marxist values, nor it is a subversive stratagem to force tolerance. This is fighting againt an injustice.

Just for the record, searching for 'xham' lists said site as the first result on both Google and DuckDuckGo for me. Don't know what the rules say about the matter though.

No, it perfectly embodies the concept of democracy. North Carolina made it's voice heard and passed this law, everyone else are making their voices heard and telling them their being ignorant dickholes.
