The Real Sex Party Is In Canada

When the big Bush took over the US government, I started looking for ways to exchange my Italian ancestry for EU citizenship. That one of Bush's first official acts was to further restrict abortion rights did nothing to ease my mind.

All the while a comparative utopia exists right across our Northern border. I got yet more proof of this reality from the news where a Canadian political party is battling the Canadian postal system in court. The political party is named 'The Sex Party' and their mission for Canada is sex-positivity. Their federal platform includes better sex education, legalizing sex work (and anal sex), and eliminating sex censorship.

On this last salient point, the Canadian post office is being fought in court for censorship a 2006 election flyer that they refused to distribute. The flyer was deemed pornographic due in large part to the image (above) of two people in a sexual embrace.

Maybe I am jaded from my life as a sex worker, but it strikes me as a completely appropriate image. It is sexually descriptive without being explicit or titillating. That is exactly what sex education is about at its best.

Anyway, I have decided to shelf my European emigration in order to pursue a life in Canada. Maybe I can help out with the good sex party cause. I am just waiting for Bush to destroy the environment to the extent that I won't have to deal with all that snow.
