Fired for doing porn:The new employment descrimination

[sukumvit boy]

The good news for many GG porn fans is that Gauge is back.
The bad news is that there seems to be no legal recourse to being
fired for being a former porn star.

In the USA, the prudishness is off the charts. A lot of female teachers get fired not for doing porn but because they had photos in bikinis.

Probably every employee handbook has written in it somewhere "your employment with xyz company' is a privilege -- not a right."

In the US you can be fired for nothing.

I think it's a legal and civil rights issue whose time has come.
But it will take someone with the notoriety and financial resources to fight it in the courts.
Secondly , it's an insight into the current puritanical double standards in American society.

Doesn't it depend on the job?

Well, at least you can't be fired from porn if you did porn. That would be quite the double standard.

Can't you, though? Nobody knows better than I do that no producer is required to shoot anybody they don't want to.

As to this being a new legal frontier, well, I guess my argument would be the same as it would be regarding any other type of discrimination tort: just go ahead and try proving it. It's incredibly difficult.
