It was clearly discussed in the above posts that this was in response to heterosexual porn.

You didn't think that my last post was addressed to you, did you? I usually skim thru the first screen of your posts and then skip the rest if I don't find anything of interest. On searching this thread I find that you were the first to use the words "actress" and "straight" concerning the participants in the video where the health laws were allegedly violated. While it is clear that you understood the background of the story it is equally clear that some others did not.

I don't feel that anyone who has responded here has done so with righteous indignation

While I advocate for gay men to treat themselves well, in all aspects of their life, I have a huge problem with this.

Yet at the same time, I cannot ask a porn actor or actress to put themselves at risk for my own personal entertainment. This is not my decision to make, is it?

No, it's not your decision; it is the actor's decision. The actor knows much better than you how risky the situation is and the actor is responsible for the consequences of his actions.
You have the decision of what type of porn to pick up and when it was made. At least you do now. If the California action is successful you won't have some of those choices any more. I am very strong on people taking the necessary actions to protect their health but make no mistake; this is not about enforcing health regulations, nor gay oppression, it is an attack on the first amendment.
I don't have any hard figures to present but there are a surprising number of deaths in making mainstream Hollywood movies. Car crashes. Dramatic shots from helicopters. Explosions. People love 'em but they can and do kill and maim real actors. I'll bet that there were more deaths among stunt men and actors making mainstream movies over the past five years than HIV infections among straight porn actors working for major porn companies. So if you are really serious about protecting the health of actors, you shouldn't view any action films until such movies are entirely rendered by computers. Romantic comedies should be ok, tho, unless you think that the protagonists might have actually had sex off-screen as a result of working together on the film.
