Rejected petition: Make pornography use a protected characteristic.
Rejected on
The current exemptions indirectly include the use of pornography.
Specifically make pornography use a protected characteristic under the Equalities Act (2010).
Pornography use is only harmful if illegal discriminatory attitudes prevail.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
