I SHOULD have been offended. I guess I just wasn't thinking. I don't know anything about porn stars firsthand but I have known teenagers who prostituted themselves and I think there's sort of a parallel. And I know they felt like trash of whatever colour. And I know they werent'. I know they were risking their lives because they didn't have anywhere to go and they needed drugs to be able to stand their lives and they needed money. But they also wanted the recognition, the clothes, the attention. They wanted to stop feeling like trash for a little while. I think there are probably porn stars with similiar motivations. That doesn't mean all of them or even most of them. I have no way of knowing but I should have objected to them being all painted with the same brush. I object now. Thanks for pointing it out to me.
