SEX SLAVES, MORE LIKE (Letter to Dom Post, June 4).

The leftist ideologues may be breaking out the Bolly, but I doubt many Maori are celebrating lesbians and prostitutes as “taonga” (Recognising our taonga, June 4).

 

Maori are too much in touch with reality. They quite likely know it’s pimps and brothelkeepers who’ve prospered under decriminalisation, not ‘sex workers’. Sex slaves, more like. 

A government report after decriminalisation shows they experience two to three times the violence other workers do. 35% experience sexual molestation and serious violence including rape, which is under-reported by more than 20%. Catherine Healy’s prostitution reform has utterly failed to “safeguard occupational safety” for these women. For their protection, pimping and brothelkeeping should be criminalised.

 

As for the Topp Twins, yes, they’re funny but HIV isn’t, ever. Lesbians get HIV and more New Zealanders were diagnosed with HIV in 2016 than ever before. Lesbians also get sexually transmitted diseases. They’re not funny either.

 

Dames Lynda, Jools and Catherine promote lifestyles which not long ago were beyond the pale, for practical reasons as well as moral. 

The irony is that the ladies of the liberal left are drinking to dames who’ve certainly not “helped make our society healthier”; they’ve helped pervert it.
