Why You Need to Kill the “Interstate Obscenity Definition Act” Before It Kills Your Rights
🧨 What the Hell Is This Bill?
Republicans, led by Utah’s walking morality clause Sen. Mike Lee, just introduced the Interstate Obscenity Definition Act — a federal bill that would ban online “obscene content” from crossing state lines.
Translation? They want to criminalize porn — not just the kind they don’t like, but the kind you watch, the kind sex educators post, the kind queer and trans people make to survive, and the kind that’s 100% legal in 50 states.
This is Project 2025 in action: ban pleasure, ban queerness, ban sex education, and weaponize federal law to enforce Christian nationalism on your laptop.
🧠 Why This Is Dangerous
- It overrides state rights. They claim to be pro-states’ rights — until California, New York, or Oregon lets you have sex without their permission.
- It criminalizes queer creators. Most of these “obscenity” crusades target LGBTQ+ content first. This bill would hand the feds a blunt weapon to use against any online sexual expression.
- It sets the stage for censorship creep. First porn, then fan art, then books, then sex ed sites. If they can ban what they find “obscene,” they can ban what they find inconvenient.
- It violates the First Amendment. Courts have upheld that adult content, as long as it’s consensual and legal, is protected speech. This bill tries to bulldoze that.
