Seriously, what's the argument for porn being speech and expression? What is the message it's trying to convey?
Edit: Guys, I'm asking if it's speech/expression and, if so, how. Most of the comments in support of it aren't answering the question, just showing their support for free speech and expression, in general. Only one guy has made a case for it, comparing it to car shows and art. And, even though I have reservations about labeling it as art, I appreciate that he's making a case for it and not just side-stepping the issue.
This isn't a "new system". This country used to have obscenity laws that were enforced against only the most egregious of cases. And there was a gentlemens agreements where businesses catering to prurient interests stayed away from main roads and generally the "good" parts of town.
That is what "live and let live" means. That normal people can go about their lives without thinking about trannies and buttsex and whores because it isn't everywhere they look the moment they leave the house or turn on a tv.
And yet if you bring that system back it will only let gays and trannies be portrayed in public and everything else is suppressed horribly. That's been my point all along. They will abuse it while dodging it entirely.
