LadiesBladewing -> Losses and the Communications Decency Act (1/16/2006 7:29:38 AM)
|
Good morning, my friends,
I write to mourn the passing of some of the icons of our community due to the Communications Decency Act.
Midori, who has thrilled so many of us with her understanding of the beauty of bondage, is no more a part of our online community. After -years- of providing insight and artful bondage, information and mentorship, Midori's sites are gone.
Likewise, Lady Wyllo, who provided Leather and Light for those of us who came to this place to learn, and to challenge the spiritual presence found through this lifestyle, is taking her site offline, because the risks of remaining available to the community are far to high now, when it may cost her jail time, fines, loss of everything up to an including her means of life.
This is -wrong-, my friends... this fight is not for one of us, it is for -all- of us, no matter whether we are public or private about our lifestyle, because where silence is forced on one, it soon becomes the compass for silence being forced on all.
First They Came for the Jews
First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.
Pastor Martin Niemöller
