Military Couple at Center of Lawsuit Challenging Porn Restrictions in State Law – By Steve Beynon (Military.com) / July 10, 2023
Elizabeth Henson just moved to Louisiana in June with her husband, an active-duty Coast Guardsman. Like many couples, they watch pornography on major websites like Pornhub to keep the marriage spicy, sometimes together over the phone when her husband’s duties take him away from home.
“We’ll watch a video together on the phone, get some of that steam blown off and maintain that sense of intimacy,” Henson, who served a decade in the Coast Guard herself, told Military.com. “This is one of the ways that we can keep that intimacy alive in our marriage.”
In Louisiana, a state law passed in January requires users to verify their age on pornography sites using a driver’s license or other ID through a third-party government website to verify that the user is at least 18 years old.
Henson does not have a Louisiana state ID. Like many military spouses who move around frequently, she kept her driver’s license from the last state she lived in.
