Republican Senator Mike Lee of Utah has sponsored the Interstate Obscenity Definition Act, or IODA, in yet another example of Republicans putting their own strange psychosexual problems.
Everyone else’s concern. If the measure is approved, all forms of pornography would be prohibited at the federal level. Lee’s bill seeks to redefine “obscenity” so broadly that even.
The smallest hint of sexuality shared online, whether it be a GIF, a meme, or a freeze-frame of the Basic Instinct interrogation scene, would be deemed criminal smut.
It is supported by the right-wing think tank Heritage Foundation and its fever dream of a fascist, Christian nationalist policy plan, Project 2025. Lee is introducing the measure for the second time.
Regardless of the impact on children, Lee’s argument that this is all being done to protect the children is always a Republican pretext for outlawing whatever they disagree.
With on principle. Regarding drag queens, they made the same statement. Children are an easy way to hide anything that feeds their distorted perception of the world.
