In trying to ban pornography, this unconstitutional bill could also open people up to criminal charges for watching any movie with a sex scene, like:
▪️ Titanic
▪️ The Notebook
▪️ Challengers
▪️ Dirty Dancing
▪️ Babygirl
▪️ Pretty Woman
▪️ Brokeback Mountain
The First Amendment protects sexual content.

Got a not-offer (yet?) of a brand partnership with a brand that's a household name and...life is real weird.
OK SB593 wants to jail me for writing romance. [Brand] is like "Hey, let's maybe work together in a romance direction, yeah?"

Authors: check your Hoopla listings. Looks like D2D has removed all romance books from Hoopla. D2D is based in Oklahoma and may be "obeying in advance" of SB593.

Oklahoma’s SB593 is absolutely ridiculous. Porn has already been argued as free speech, but now they wanna treat it like a crime? If this passes, Oklahoma is just the beginning—this could destroy the entire industry. Wake up, because your access to adult content is on the chopping block.

I am seeing a lot of pornography bans come up in a lot of states and shocker romance is not exempted. Your need to protest loudly that romance is not porn is 1) not true because you are selling a romantic fantasy with added sexual fantasy on top of that. www.oklahoman.com/story/news/p...

So Bill sb593 has passed through its second hearing in Oklahoma, and they've outlined what everything means.
If it passes, it would be a FELONY,with no less than 10yrs prison time and $10k in fines, for me to write my books or draw my art....
A FELONY.
Please get me out of here 😭😭😭

From Oklahoma:
The measure would broaden language to make it illegal to possess, purchase or distribute "unlawful pornography," which is defined as any depiction, image, or film that shows sexual conduct, intercourse or lewd exhibition of genitals.

ATTENTION ROMANCE READERS!! Especially those in Oklahoma. You need to look at SB593 proposed by Dusty Deevers. This could classify open door romance books as 🌽cornography. You know what I mean 😉 This is not getting enough attention!

In all seriousness, we’re gonna need a lot of pushback and eyes on these senators because that OK SB593 is not just a child p***ography bill and Dusty thinks we’re stupid.
