You lost me right from the start...after this, "It is shaping up to be the next great civil rights effort in the United States and elsewhere"
Seriously??
Let's first get civil rights for those that are being needlessly killed, jailed and treated like the lowest form of this earth. You know who I'm talking about. 
And while I AM working for that cause, also on my list is working for children (and men & women) being sold for sex, child abuse, working for the hungry and working to raise awareness that ONLY about 4% of funds raised to cure cancer go towards curing CHILDREN'S cancers. 
Last on my list will be sex workers rights. Sorry. Just learn to be more careful & more sneaky!! You CAN'T be careful & sneaky while being sold against your will, while being beat, while you're hungry or while you're laying in bed with cancer.
