The bill would make sites with more than 25 percent adult content liable to fines, and lumps homosexuality into "sexual conduct."

An age verification bill in Kansas that is the most extreme in the country has passed both House and Senate and is on its way to the governor’s desk. The bill will make sites with more than 25 percent adult content liable to heavy fines if they don’t verify that visitors are over the age of 18. It also calls being gay “sexual conduct,” which critics say could set up the state for more censorship of LGBT+ citizens.

    I’m fucking sick of these laws. Since when was the “party of small government” all about creating literal nanny states?

      It always has been, just like how they claim to be fiscally responsible while bringing back trickle down economics to destroy government funding.

      They have lied constantly for the nearly 3 decades I have been able to vote.

        They take money away from education and remove laws/rules about lying. We’re at the top of a mountain of shit built by conservatives and we’re going to start sinking.

      Since forever?.. The party of small government is a slogan… No more true than the wings you get from drinking red bull

      Because they have never been the party of small government. You don’t need to be the party of small government if you’re the party of credulous rubes.

        “small government” was an euphemism for “defend rather than desegregate public services”
