Mega-porn Convention Lands at O'Hare Chicago

Billed as the "adult circus," Exxxotica Expo 2011 is expecting to draw 20,000 people to a convention center in so-called family-friendly Rosemont, Illinois but has run afoul with the National Football League over promotions.

EXXXOTICA Chicago will take place at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center July 8-10 and will include a performance by rap group 2 Live Crew and appearances by adult film stars Ron Jeremy, Sunny Leone, Brandy Talore and Jenna Haze, among others.

The adult entertainment expo, which calls itself “the nation’s largest consumer show for love and sex,” will feature meet-and-greets with adult film stars, booths with the latest sex-related products and a variety of stage shows, including the Ms. EXXXOTICA competition.

From "Family-friendly Rosemont hosts porn convention" by Madhu Krishnamurthy, Daily Herald 6/18/11

Having lost its bids to land a casino, Rosemont has worked to promote itself as a family-friendly destination with events like comic book conventions, family movie nights at Muvico Theaters, a new professional softball team and plans for a youth sports academy.

It's not the first time Rosemont has hosted a sex industry convention. Last year's Exxxtacy 2010, put on by New York-based Taboo Entertainment, brought to town more than 100 sex-themed vendors and dozens of adult film stars — including the mistresses of high-profile celebrities.

Rosemont has been most receptive of the event, which is not your typical porn convention, said organizer Victory Tradeshow Management director J. Handy.

Handy said the event offers sex seminars as well as 24 hours of live entertainment with rap music performances, bondage and burlesque entertainers, fire breathers, sword swallowers, midgets, as well as women performing on swings, poles, stages and trampolines.

From "Adult entertainment convention says it was unaware of ads" posted at NFL.com 6/21/11

Victory Tradeshow Management, the owner and operator of the adult entertainment convention known as EXXXOTICA Expo Miami Beach, released a statement on Monday making it clear the company had no part in the production of the ads that featured current and former NFL players . . .

"EXXXOTICA and/or Victory Tradeshow Management was not the producers or promoters of the party in question," the statement read. "The event was listed as an “Official After Party” of EXXXOTICA Miami Beach due in part to a licensing agreement to use the Expo’s trademark, but there was no knowledge of the alleged involvement of the players or use of any images in question. Once discovered, all offending ads were promptly removed."

The players featured in the ads were quick to disassociate themselves from the event last week.

From "Por-no: Bears’ Wright apologizes" by Neil Hayes, Chicago Sun-Times 6/16/11

Bears safety Major Wright issued an apology after his likeness was used on a promotion that included the world’s largest gathering of porn stars, even if the general manager of the Miami Beach, Fla., nightclub advertising the event claims it was all a misunderstanding.

“I authorized my name and likeness to be used in conjunction with other NFL players at a party I believed to be hosted by other NFL players,” Wright said in a statement released by his agent, Mitch Frankel. “I had no knowledge and never would have given authority for my name or likeness to be associated with Exxxotica Expo 2011.”

Former Illinois defensive tackle Corey Liuget, who was selected by the San Diego Chargers in the first round of the NFL draft, also appeared in the ad. Wright and Liuget are from the Miami area. Liuget and the other players appearing in the ad issued similar apologies.

Sadomasochistic Exhibit Funded by Univ. of Chicago

The University of Chicago provided nearly $3,200 to a "kink" student group for a traveling sadomasochistic "leather library" exhibit at the University that eroticized pedophilia, incest, and the most deviant pornographic perversions known to mankind.

“We had maybe one person who had some uptight body language about the material but nobody has said anything. We have a very supportive campus.”

-- From "University of Chicago hosts traveling kink book exhibit" by Kara Spak, Chicago Sun-Times Staff Reporter 4/27/11

The world of kink and fetish again has found a home on a prestigious Chicago university campus.

The University of Chicago currently is hosting a traveling exhibit from the Carter-Johnson Leather Library, a collection of hundreds of books and magazines including “Macho Sluts,” a limited edition “The Spankers” by Duchess of Pain, “Run Little Leather Boy” and “Diapers,” a magazine with a cover featuring a grown man wearing a diaper, holding a stuffed panda and sucking on a bottle.

The university is the first college in the country to host the exhibit, which typically travels to leather and kink shows, said Vi Johnson, who developed the collection with her partner.

“When it travels to kink events, essentially we’re preaching to the choir,” Johnson said. “Being able to bring this display to a college campus, put a 300-year-old book in the hands of a 20-year-old and say ‘Here’s your history’ — it’s such a rush.”

From "University of Chicago Promotes S&M and Pedophilia to Students -- in Name of Diversity" posted at Christian Newswire 4/29/11

Americans For Truth about Homosexuality (AFTAH) sent a reporter Wednesday to the exhibit -- at the University's International House -- and came back with photos of the shockingly perverse offerings of the "Carter Johnson Leather Library," including:

• The lesbian porn book "Macho Sluts," by Pat Califia, which includes a story about a mother who engages in sadistic, violent "sex play" with her own 13-year-old daughter;

• "Gay" pornographic fiction books with pederastic themes, including one 1975 book, "Small Town Boy," about a 15-year-old boy who meets up with and is sodomized by an adult businessman visiting from New York City;

Incredibly, the University of Chicago now officially sanctions a "student group" for sexual sadists: RACK (Risk-Aware Consensual Kink), through which the traveling "leather library" exhibit was funded. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, RACK "received nearly $3,200 in university grant money to bring the display to campus."

San Fran. Sado-masochistic Event Draws Politicians

California's annual Folsom Street Fair of sexual deviancy is routinely ignored by the mainstream media, and treated as commonplace by the local media.

"Other places try, but there's nothing on this scale. And you'd never see the public nudity."

-- From "Folsom Street Fair: Hot weather for leather" by John King, San Francisco Chronicle Staff Writer 9/27/10

. . . Sunday's 27th annual Folsom Street Fair, where bare buttocks and leather harnesses were common sights as hundreds of thousands of people came in close contact on a hot afternoon.

The 5-block-long fair was the centerpiece of San Francisco Leather Week, billed by nonprofit Folsom Street Events as "one of the most beloved fetish events in the world."

There was a raised stage where flogging was performed and a spanking booth where proceeds went to charity. Vendors included Quality Whips, Eternity Collars and Simply Latex.

The fair celebrates aggressive sexuality.

Southwest Airlines Sponsors Gay 'Pride' Event Including S&M Competition

From "Southwest Airlines stands by sponsorship of DC 'homosexual pride' event" by Jim Brown, posted 6/14/07 at OneNewsNow.com

Southwest Airlines is defending its recent sponsorship of a homosexual pride celebration in Washington, DC, last weekend. The airline says it has no regrets about its decision.

Southwest Airlines and SunTrust Banks were among the corporate sponsors for the Capital Pride Festival, an event in which homosexuals took to the streets to demand what they call "full legal and social equality" -- namely the legalization of same-sex "marriage." The Family Research Council criticized the sponsors, arguing it was an "irrational business decision" to "put their name and their money behind radical homosexual activities."

Jena Atcheson, segment marketing manager for Southwest, says the Capital Pride Festival meets the airline's business needs in Washington.

"Our goal in the segment marketing department is to look at niche markets that can help grow revenues for Southwest," she notes. "Regardless of the population estimate for this particular niche market, we're also appealing to heterosexual customers who support a company that embraces all diversity and equality, and that's what we're looking for."

The 10-day Capital Pride Festival included a lesbian dance, a prom for youth, a transgender dance, and a "Mr. and Ms. Capital Pride Leather Competition."

'Leather' is a slang word for sadism and masochism. Think about it for a minute. What on earth could a competition for sadists and masochists entail?

Chicago's Palmer House Hilton Hotel Hosts Conference for Sado-Masochists

From "Sodom by the Lake: Chicago's Palmer House Hotel Hosts Perverse 'International Mr. Leather" by Peter LaBarbera, posted 5/30/07 at AmericansforTruth.com

Pro-homosexuality activism is largely a big city phenomenon. The City of Chicago has the “queer” distinction of being a favorite city of sadomasochists, people who would have once been known, in saner times, as what they are: perverts. Proceeds from International Mr. Leather’s vendor registration went to a place called the Leather Archives Museum — a “museum” for sexual sadists, again, located in Chicago. I visited this “museum” last year and was stunned by its audacious chronicling of the most repulsive perversions (see main story), e.g., “fisting.” The sheer horror and weirdness of the place makes it difficult to describe to a normal audience.

How sad that this great city and so many of its leaders have given themselves over to celebrating sexual depravity. How bad is it?

Peter LaBarbera, Americans for Truth, took these photos walking through the IML vendor fair, which was open to the public. Must be seen to be believed.
