Owning certain back issues of &lt;i&gt;Christopher Street&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Fag Rag&lt;/i&gt;, or &lt;i&gt;The Village Voice&lt;/i&gt; is now a felony. Are we in store for a brave new world of sexual repression?&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> In 1933, a mob of Nazi storm troopers and Hitler Youth raided and torched the Berlin archive of Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld, the well-known German sex researcher and homosexual activist. Much of what was salvaged was later bundled off to the Kinsey Institute in the United States. Surely in a land of secure constitutional freedoms and political reason, the archive&#039;s custodians reckoned, the collection would remain safe. Ironically, the latest federal antipornography law, signed on November 29th by George Bush, puts the Kinsey Institute&#039;s vast erotica collection in legal jeopardy. In daring to document all the flavors of desire, the Institute violates a new law that makes it a felony to &lt;i&gt;possess&lt;/i&gt; sexual images of persons younger than 18 years. [...]&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> In such circumstances, analogies to the rise of fascism are not a rhetorical stretch. The changes have been so quick and dramatic that their implications have not sunk into our community&#039;s consciousness. Only false comfort can be had pretending these laws will not be used to attack, isolate, and silence those who irritate an increasingly repressive state.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;i&gt;source: Article &#039;New Weapons for the Sex Police&#039; by Bill Andriette; This article also appeared in &#039;The Guide&#039;, a national gay monthly, and in &#039;Xtra&#039;, the Toronto gay weekly; Nambla Bulletin, Vol. 12, n. 2; March 1991&lt;/i&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Category:Bill Andriette]]<br /> [[Category:Child pornography]]<br /> [[Category:Kinderporno]]<br /> [[Category:Christopher Street]]<br /> [[Category:Fag Rag]]<br /> [[Category:The Village Voice]]<br /> [[Category:Sexual repression]]<br /> [[Category:Seksuele onderdrukking]]<br /> [[Category:Nazi&#039;s]]<br /> [[Category:Magnus Hirschfeld]]<br /> [[Category:Kinsey Institute]]<br /> [[Category:George H.W.
