Los Angeles has defied the porn industry's
threat to quit the city and passed a law requiring porn actors to wear
condoms during filming. The City Council voted 9-1 for final approval of
the ordinance, which is set to go into effect in 90 days, the Los Angeles Times
reports.
A film permit fee will fund surprise inspections on porn
shoots. California occupational health authorities already require porn
actors to wear condoms, but that rule is almost never enforced, Reuters notes.
"Clearly, this is about the government overreaching and intruding into
consenting adults’ decisions,” complained the chief of a porn industry
trade group. “They are taking something they know nothing about and
imposing their morality on our industry." The head of the AIDS
Healthcare Foundation, which spent years fighting for the condom law,
says he doesn't believe the porn industry will leave town. "They’d
hardly be welcomed in West Virginia or Utah or Mississippi, or even a
place like Nevada, where legal prostitution is highly regulated and
condoms are required," he says. "And we will follow them wherever they
go."
