Assemblymember Hall Statement on Second
HIV Transmission of Adult Film Actor
SACRAMENTO, CA – Assemblymember Isadore Hall, III (D-Los Angeles) released the following statement following today’s announcement that a 32 year old adult film actor has tested positive for HIV. This announcement comes less than two weeks after a 28 year old adult film actress also tested positive for HIV.
“Reports of a second confirmed HIV transmission of an adult film actor in less than two weeks should send a chilling message to the public and the adult film industry. Enough is enough.
The adult film industry can no longer sit on the sidelines while actors continue to be exposed to injury, harm and potentially death. The adult film industry should immediately reinstate its filming moratorium that it recklessly lifted after only six days. All actors or members of the public that have been potentially exposed to HIV should be tested by licensed medical professionals to determine the extent of this outbreak. Adult film production should only resume with comprehensive workplace safety protocols in place, including requiring condom use in all adult films.
Adult film actors placed their trust in an industry that has put porn profits above worker safety. It is time for the Free Speech Coalition and the adult film industry to stand up for the workers that made them successful by supporting my AB 640 and working with actors, Cal/OSHA and public health officials to give these employees a safe place to work and earn a living.”
Assemblymember Isadore Hall, III, represents California’s 64th Assembly District that includes the communities of Carson, Compton, Gardena, Harbor Gateway, Lynwood, North Long Beach, Rancho Dominguez, South Los Angeles, Torrance, Watts/Willowbrook and Wilmington in Los Angeles County.

Assemblyman Hall Releases A Statement on Rod Daily http://t.co/bz7AfrcVLT
he’s right
This guy is brought and paid for by the AHF. He should worry about Compton, the worst place in Los Angles and keep his nose out of the Porn Industry.
Well, they had to find someone on the government level to do it…. no matter “who” does it is irrelevant. Politics is NOT personal. This has nothing to do with Hall… he’s just a single player in a much larger game.
Politics often are personal.
Good politics aren’t. This is good politics at work.
And here is what the industry does as a result:

Fuck. The original tweet has been deleted. Now there’s just a back-handed apology so she doesn’t get sued…
What did the tweet say???
I stand corrected, but it’s still hard for me to say there are “good politics.” Meh.
It’s scary when a grandstanding politician with more problems in his own back yard sounds like the reasonable one.
Where is the FSC board members, and why do they seem to be too ignorant to act to get Diane Duke out of the way. My guess is if one more positive comes back after this, FSC and it’s testing sock puppet company will be on the end of lawsuits that will wipe them off the face of the earth anyway.
Simple… If Duke is sent packing then who is everyone going to blame and bitch about?
The FSC and it’s board members are definitely not stupid. It’s all bait and switch tactics at this point. They need someone to take the fall. But, I personally don’t think getting Duke out would even matter at this point.. She’s the LAST person I would worry about right now…..
