[SWAF-Potluck] Yellow Pages Shuts Out Escorts

[Mary Miriam Magdalena]

This is DISGUSTING, I don't even know what to say about this. It is LEGALLY
IMPOSSIBLE to consent to the violence that leads to your death. What a
FUCKING CROCK OF SHIT. I will however be on a plane tomorrow at that time
so I can't make it to the demo, but I hope other people can go. OMG what a
pathetic fucking country and world we live in. :(  :(  :(  :(
