'Campus (Dildo) Carry': sex toy ban spurs protest over Texas gun laws
University students plan protest over law that will allow concealed weapons on campus where display of sex aids can lead to a $500 fine for obscenity
From 1 August 2016, licensed Texans will be allowed to carry concealed weapons on the campuses of public universities. In the wake of a spate of campus shootings, a group of students have decided to protest the incoming law by entering classrooms carrying different accessories: dildos.
In an event organized by Jessica Jin, a 24-year-old alumnus of the University of Texas at Austin, under the banner of Campus (Dildo) Carry, on 24 August 2016 students and others who want to participate will enter the UT campus with sex aids strapped to their backpacks.
The movement began as a joke, Jin told the Houston Chronicle, because dildos are “just plain funny”.
