A great article from Hugh Hefner.

For fifty years, Hefner has been speaking out on privacy, sexual freedom, civil liberties and civil rights. He has been a staunch supporter of reprodutive rights and even the ERA. He has donated his time and money to these causes and all Americans owe him a debt of gratitude. His latest essay:

Nearly 50 years ago in the pages of this magazine I warned that “when religion rather than reason dictates legislation, do not expect logic with your law.” Today, in every instance of sexual rights falling under attack, you’ll find legislation forced into place by people who practice discrimination disguised as religious freedom. Their goal is to dehumanize everyone’s sexuality and reduce us to using sex for the sole purpose of perpetuating our species. To that end, they will criminalize your entire sex life.
