Comments on: the Boston Herald could have at least *linked* to Gimps Gone Wild http://www.tinynibbles.com/blogarchives/2009/03/the-boston-herald-could-have-at-least-linked-to-gimps-gone-wild.html Journalist and author Violet Blue's site for sex and tech culture, accurate sex information, erotica and more.

I think this speaks volumes about his attitudes. While I would have a problem with photos of people who were unable to give informed consent a quick Google search for Chloe magazine and Gimps Gone Wild assured me that these are projects done in a positive way. The tagline for Chloe seems to be "Magazine for, by and about the strong sexy and successful disabled woman!" How that translates into Playboy I have no idea. On Our Backs I might be able to see but Playboy? Nope. So, my verdict on why Mr Wedge didn't include links was that he was hoping that his readers wouldn't use Google to go find this 'horribly scandalous' material. http://www.chloemagazine.com/ http://gimpsgonewild.com/ Oh, and it is only scandalous if you think all people with disabilities aren't mature, capable, sexual *adults* who belong in society. (I ranted here because I really didn't think it was worth the effort to type there.)
