This article reviews Christopher N. Kendall's book Gay Male Pornography: An Issue of Sex Discrimination. In particular, this article focuses on the analysis of the Little Sisters case and the harms-based test articulated in the Butler decision. Kendall's book explains his position that gay male pornography is a problem of sex discrimination, and the harm of gay pronography is not propertly understood under current theoretical models. Short challenges Kendall's assessment of gay male pornography.
