On December 17, 2008, about forty-five of us (sex workers, allies, a few Johns, and some others) gathered to remember sex workers who have been (or will become)victims of violence of various kinds; rape, murder, arrests, police brutality, suicide when facing jail time, robbery... and hate crimes. The Center for Sex and Culture was a lovely, safe, and comfortable environment for our ritual---- sexy even-- with all its velvety couches and an exhibit of lively paintings of Madison Young in bondage! It felt like a sex worker safe house.
