“The communities hit hardest by the continued criminalization of sex work and human trafficking are overwhelmingly LGBTQ, they are people of color, and they are undocumented immigrants,” McCray said at the time. “Sex work is a means of survival for many in these marginalized groups.”
So if the sex workers were not LGBTQ, people or color, or undocumented it was fine to prosecute them? But because it affects those groups more, now it’s unfair? I’m all for decriminalizing... but the motives that they enunciate for doing so are themselves discriminatory.
