Porn Site Bans North Carolina Users Due To State’s Anti-LGBT Laws

There’s a new kink in North Carolina’s LGBT controversy: A popular porn website is banning all computers from “The Tar Heel State.”

XHamster.com has been refusing to serve anyone from North Carolina since 12:30 p.m. EDT, Monday.

Instead, users with a North Carolina IP address are just seeing a black screen on their computer — no porn.

The extreme measures will stay in place until North Carolina repeals House Bill 2, a law passed on March 23 that effectively prevents cities and counties in the state from passing rules that protect LGBT rights.

XHamster.com spokesman, Mike Kulich, said the website believes in equality for everyone.

“We have spent the last 50 years fighting for equality for everyone and these laws are discriminatory which XHamster.com does not tolerate,” he said in an official statement sent to The Huffington Post. “Judging by the stats of what you North Carolinians watch, we feel this punishment is a severe one. We will not standby and pump revenue into a system that promotes this type of garbage. We respect all sexualities and embrace them.”

Kulich told HuffPost that the company’s statistics show that North Carolinians are more open-minded — at least about their porn — than laws like HB2 might suggest.

“Back in March, we had 400,000 hits for the term ‘Transsexual’ from North Carolina alone,” he said. “People from that state searched ‘Gay’ 319,907 times,” he added.

Kulich said the website plans to replace the black screen currently seen by North Carolina porn buffs with a petition demanding the repeal of the law.

“Hopefully, it will get as many signatures as the ‘transsexual’ searches,” he said.

XHamster joins a growing list of entertainers and companies who are refusing to do business in North Carolina, including Bruce Springsteen, who canceled his Sunday concert at the Greensboro Coliseum to protest the law.

Canceling the concert, he said, is “the strongest means I have for raising my voice in opposition to those who continue to push us backwards instead of forwards.”

Kulich said he believes denying porn is the logical next step.

“I think that porn has the power to do what Bruce Springsteen can’t,” he said.

XHamster may have good intentions by wanting to repeal HB2, but the company is contradicting itself by publicly supporting Donald Trump on its search page for “big cock,” which features a “Make America Great Again” ad that links to Trump’s website.

Trump has publicly said that, if elected, he’d consider appointing judges who would overturn the U.S. Supreme Court’s gay marriage ruling, which would seem to contradict XHamster’s self-proclaimed, pro-equality ethos.

However, Kulich said the company doesn’t support all of Trump’s policies.

“We will continue to support equality regardless of who gets elected.”

I still got pornhub so fuck em!!

Searches for "F A T Spammy Cock" still yield zero results.

[DONNIEP]

And they're full of shit - it works just fine for me. Although I didn't search for Trannies. I should do more research.

Blah blah blah blah. Less than 1% of the population suffers from body disphoria. And it has nothing to do with sexual orientation. I know cause I seen all about it on South Park when Cartman was a Transginger.

And by the way, you should set your clocks back 155 years. Back to the good ol days..

[Terry]

Most people in North Carolina probably don't give much of a shit one way or the other if Bruce Springsteen performs there these days or not...

threaten to take away their gay/tranny porn, though...

I mean, shit, the possible implications of that cause one to shudder. Imagine North Carolinians, deprived of porn, actually reverting to fucking each other instead of themselves! A possible population explosion of North Carolinians less than a year away?!

Thank fuck this didn't happen in Kentucky or Arkansas...

Fuck X Hamster. Fuck Bruce Springsteen. While I've never agreed with hyocrites who don't want you to have access to porn because they're compulsive masturbators restricting access to porn because of this isn't going to bother anyone who is anti fag/ anti rug muncher anyway. Considering Bruce's political leaning I doubt he has many anti fag/ anti rug muncher fans either. He's punishing his fans because the state they live in doesn't lean the same way he does. I prefer to be a fan of artists who don't give a shit if I agree with their political leanings or not.

They'll just have to go back to spanking monkey to the Sears catalog bra and panty section if they really feel the need and can't get off on imagination only.

Is there such a thing as a Sears catalog anymore? It's been decades since such a thing was seen here in Hell.

The thing is...this new law has nothing to do with which bathroom gay people go to. I don't care if the guy pissing at the urinal next to me is gayer than Freddie Mercury turned loose in a lingerie store. What the law does is prevent men from going into the bathrooms where women and girls are, and vice versa. Now everybody gets all bent out of shape about that but honestly the number of people who suffer from body dysphoria is less than 1%. And as I've said, it's got to be a terrible thing to be saddled with but really what's the big deal here? So some of that 1% may not feel comfortable using the restroom that matches their crotch. Big deal. Guess how many dads and moms deal with a similar situation every day in America. Hell, when my daughter was little I had to make sure we'd both went to the bathroom before we left home because I wasn't taking her in a men's room and not all places have a "family friendly" restroom. So I didn't get to take a piss when we were out. That's just how it is and I didn't expect every store and restaurant to go build me a special bathroom. And I dealt with this for years, just like lots of moms and dads do every day. It ain't that big of a deal.

And when she was finally old enough to go into the restroom by herself, I'd stand outside the ladies room door just in case she started screaming or blew her whistle. Now, if some dude had just walked in there after her we woulda had a serious problem. Of course it never happened because it's a non issue for the most part.

I use that one when I hang around women's toilets ..... Smooth

Nope. Sears killed its catalog in 1993, which was a horrible decision seeing as how they were the Amazon of the 20th century. Sears had distribution centers all over the country, like Amazon has now, and if they had kept those distribution centers in place and had embraced internet retail they might be even bigger than Amazon is now.

The thing about Sears was it was where everybody shopped - either from the catalog or in a department store. And they actually used to have departments in the store - outdoors, toys, sporting goods, all that crap and usually a restaurant too. And here in my area, what really killed it was the mall. The Sears store had been a standalone building, big one, in the next town over. And when it finally moved to the mall it had to compete with all the other little niche stores and retailers that specialized in higher end stuff, like Belk and Ivey's. So instead of being a one-stop department store where you could get just about anything, the Sears store in the mall just kinda became like every other store except they didn't have access to a lot of the higher end stuff.

Ah, their downfall is kinda like what happened to Blockbuster Video. Blockbuster fucked itself by not jumping on the internet bandwagon and they actually had it handed to them on a silver platter - the guy who started up Netflix tried to sell the idea to Blockbuster and they laughed him out the door. So he fuckee fuckeed them real good.
