Libertarian Party National Platform, 1972

2.10 Sex Work The Libertarian Party supports the decriminalization of prostitution. We assert the right of consenting adults to provide sexual services to clients for compensation, and the right of clients to purchase sexual services from consenting sex workers.

Legalization, decriminalization

Destigmatization, normalization

Long John Lemuria
