Timory: I'm surprised that not a single normal billboard company would accept the message, though I expected some rejection. GP: Cabs are something to look into, it's a good idea. I'm still trying to plan my next move and next city, which means starting this process all over in finding a new "host." Julia: Sexual issues get censored and excluded way more than other issues. It's sadly normal.

Oh and I forgot to add blogtalkradio also states shows that promote racism are against their TOS.

Hey I used to have a show on blogtalkradio on sex work, but they removed me because apparently my show "encouraged" illegal activity as per their TOS. I became angry because blogtalkradio also hosted such shows by groups like the "aryan nation" (white people who believe they are superiors. This show even had many racist jokes and commentary) and "black jews" (a group that promotes raping girls and says the black race is superior). These shows still exist on blog talk today, yet a show about promoting sex worker rights isn't allowed?

What about cabs? Like Yellow cabs etc. They usually have paid advertisements on the back of their cabs. Would they be willing to put up the sign/ad for sex work? Just food for thought. Has anyone tried contacting the media locally to get coverage on the issue? Maybe hollar out about the fact that the ad is being rejected by so many billboard companies yet they are willing to take on other controversial subjects?

I've seen a couple of those mobile billboards. They do grab the eye in a way that stationary ones don't.

Congratulations on your perseverance.

Were you surprised that the billboard was rejected? Or that it was rejected as many times as it was?

I think the billboard was a brilliant idea, and I hope it brings a lot of attention to swaay.org.
