North Carolina is leading the nation in morality. I know that the media and political elite disagree. But that is a good thing. As are the boycotts from Yankee state governments. In another piece of good news, an adult website is blocking North Carolina residents from their site. Although I have never heard of xHamster, the article below states that it is ranked 91st in the world. Think what would happen if other states stood up for morality instead of obscenity. If xHamster wanted to make a real statement, they should block the IP addresses in Washington, D.C.

Massive adult website blocks North Carolina residents in anti-LGBT law protest
Earlier this month, it was reported that PayPal had cancelled its plans to open a global operations center in Charlotte, North Carolina, as a protest against the state’s recently passed anti-LGBT law. Now, another firm is taking a stand against House Bill 2. This time, it’s adult website xHamster, which is blocking all North Carolina IP addresses from accessing its content.
The controversial law supersedes ordinances protecting LGBT people from discrimination and prevents transgender people from using bathrooms and locker rooms that do not match the gender on their birth certificates. A number of companies, including Google, Facebook, Apple, and IBM, have spoken out against theHouse Bill 2, and more than 80 CEOs signed a letter to North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory, urging him to repeal it.
In addition to denying North Carolina residents access to its mountains of porn, xHamster – which is one of the biggest websites of its kind and ranked 91st most popular site in the world – is presenting residents of the state with an informative popup that shows some of the searches performed by certain North Carolinians.
Sooooo, what about this is supposed to upset us?
