FSC Responds to Complaint Filed by AHF Against Immoral Productions
Free Speech Coalition (FSC) denounces actions taken by AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) as another misguided attempt to monopolize public health policy by demonizing adult industry businesses
At a press conference today, AHF announced that it has filed a complaint against adult production company Immoral Productions. In response to the latest developments involving AHF’s relentless attacks on the adult industry, FSC CEO Diane Duke has issued the following statement:
“There hasn’t been an on set transmission of HIV since 2004 – nationwide. Adult film industry protocols are highly effective, which is why it is so preposterous that AHF has spent millions on a problem that doesn’t exist. Moreover, AHF has yet to bring forth performers who are not on their payroll and now, an ‘anonymous’ letter? Countless adult film performers have come out against AHF’s crusade as detrimental to their health and their livelihood,” Duke said.
“The bottom line is that AHF’s efforts will only diminish performer safety, drive jobs out of LA and California and spend valuable tax dollars on a non-issue,” Duke added.
As the adult industry trade association, FSC has opposed AHF’s special interest campaign for barrier protection use in adult productions since 2007.
In 2010, after a lawsuit brought by AHF delivered a crippling financial blow to the Adult Industry Medical Healthcare (AIM) clinic, which had been the primary source of healthcare services for industry performers. At that time, FSC stepped in to uphold industry-appropriate standards and protocols for production safety and developed the APHSS.org database program, to oversee performer STD testing.
In 2012, after an estimated $6 million dollars in campaign expenditures by AHF, county voters passed the Los Angeles ‘Safer Sex’ Ordinance for Adult Productions (aka Measure B) by a margin of 57% to 43%. Language on the ballot scarcely stated to voters the proposed barrier protection use, which includes condoms, dental dams, goggles and gloves. Soon after the election, Vivid Entertainment and two performer co-plaintiffs filed suit against the County of Los Angeles, in an effort to strike down the regulation. The case is ongoing.
AHF’s anti-adult industry attempts continue with Assembly Bill 332, which was to be introduced in committee today in Sacramento. The bill has been tabled by the Arts & Entertainment committee, but was handed over to the Labor Committee for further consideration.
FSC will continue to oppose AB 332 and the Los Angeles ordinance as unconstitutional and a burden on both adult industry and California taxpayers.

$6 million? Is that counting the bribes to various councilpersons?
Read Dianes statement and understand EXACTLY why Measure B won and why AB332 will become law.
She leads with a lie and continues with lies and bullshit that simply do not hold up under scrutiny.
Someone REALLY needs to fire this idiot.
She still spouts that the porn industry is gonna hurt the taxpayers in their pocketbooks by leaving CA or being forced out of business. FSC is not going to beat this using that kind of dubious logic, That ship sailed a long time ago. Guys like Mr. Mucus proved how fragile that system is.
I like how the FSC stepped in to uphold industry wide regulations after AIM folded up their tent.
Funny how South never mentions AHF’s lies and bullshit, which are present in virtually every one of its public statements, such as there having been 23 cases of HIV in the LA porn industry since 2004; or AHF’s use of the ginned-up Kerndt/Kim-Farley comparative STI rates which have already been debunked, both in substance and in terms of legal relevance.
Yeah, it sure is surprising that South doesn’t ever criticize AHF’s party line…
And because AHF lies too its all a wash right Uncle Peg?
You dont get it, AHF keeps winning, the reason they keep winning is because the FSC will not address this issue honestly. Bullshit and rhetoric will once again lose this battle. I like Porno Dan and I think that what happened to him is sad, it’s even sadder because someone in porn rolled on him.
Its sad tha the FSC sold its soul to Manwin, a move they are going to live to regret if they dont already. Its sad that so much of the industry sold out to Manwin instead of trying to paint me as the bad guy someone with intelligence might want to hear what I have to say, an awful lot of people in this biz…..smart ones and powerful ones see the FSC as the impediment they are and think it needs to be dissolved in favor of something better equipped to deal with the problems we face.
We are currently faced with a very unique opportunity to save ourselves…some of us are trying, but for the most part ignorance and apathy will probably win out anyway….look in the mirror for example.
Stop including yourself with “we”, South. I know who you are and what you’ve done.
Oh my a threat….interesting that’s the best defense you’ve got….Hell i dont even need to say more….do carry on
No, South, your nonsense simply isn’t worthy of a serious reply. You’re a broken record: attacking FSC, attacking Manwin, pounding your chest lol. The only people out here who think you have any use aren’t in the adult industry, they’re at AHF.
And I can’t find a threat in my previous comment, either, dumbass. When I do issue one, I’ll make sure it’s clear enough that even a scrub, lying, hillbilly piece of shit like yourself can understand it.
Ok the 2 Mike’s need to get a room and work this out or something. Try to stay on topic guys!
@MW, what ever you do, don’t throw a 100 pound stripper at him. Dude is as fragile as Dana Dearmond after a gang bang.
I am always judicious in my handling of strippers. Someday when I’m an old man, I wouldn’t want one to hug me too tight and break me in half, as one did to Mike South. No, I’ll leave that kind of treatment — grabbing them by the hair, calling them names — to woman-hating pigs.
HAha any time either of you two pussy airbags feels like testing that theory its 3399 Misty harbor Tr, Doraville, GA 30304
🙂
Big talk from the pussy who talked about how scared he was of the big bad PWL army — so scared that he was looking over his shoulder every day and talking about carrying a gun. LOL
Dang, one of ya calls me a woman hating pig, the other calls me a pussy airbag. Well, at least neither of you tried to claim I am an alt.
P.S. I always ask if any names are off limits. Had a bad experience calling a chick with an eating disorder a “cum pig”. Live and learn.
You know I wasn’t referring to you, jerkuluscious, I was referencing the charges filed by a dancer against Mike South.
I just took umbrage because I enjoy hair pulling and name calling, especially when school girl skirts and spanking are involved.
Nothing wrong with any of that when it’s consensual.
Certainly consensual. I have a hard enough time affording a whore. Add in bail, lawyer,fines, etc and the scenario would not be economically viable.
Ain’t nobody got time for that!
HA HA HA HA. You see Sweet Brown’s commercial she did for the dentist?
“Oh lord it’s a toothache! Ain’t nobody got time for that!” Brilliant.
And they gave her a gold toof!
