Porn stars and porn sites are in celebration mode this month after receiving word that the state of California has voted to reject the “California Safer Sex in the Adult Film Industry Act,” also known as Proposition 60. Prop 60 brought backlash from porn producers and others in the industry because they would have needed to prove that condoms were worn during scenes involving “vaginal or anal penetration by a penis,” in addition to requiring producers to pay for testing, vaccinations, and medical exams of performers. The bill, which was introduced and funded by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, was struck down 46 to 55 percent.
Critics of Prop 60 argued that Los Angeles already passed a measure in 2012 that requires the use of condoms in porn made in L.A. County. And regular STI testing is also an industry standard. Many of the bill’s opponents and AIDS activists have been working together to provide guidelines that would mostly align with those in Prop 60, but which would give “power to the performer.” Today, porn stars are just happy the bill was rejected, and have taken to Twitter to express their relief: “Looks like #prop60 isn’t going to pass! Any other news we missed about people getting fucked without a condom?”
