Dr. Marty Klein to do Lectures at Center for Inquiry

Dr. Marty Klein will do a lecture entitled, "America's War on Sex: Why the Right is Obsessed with Your Sexuality and How They're Destroying Secular Democracy" at the Center for Inquiry in Hollywood (4773 Hollywood Blvd.) on Saturday at 11 a.m. and the Center for Inquiry, West, in Costa Mesa (1845 Park Ave.) at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday.

Klein's talks will address:

* How the Right has demonized sexuality, creating a cultural narrative of danger and fear

* Why science and facts alone can't defeat this political movement

* How healthcare, marriage counseling, sex research, journalism, and academia are being vandalized by the War on Sex

* How "faith-based funding" has radically altered the American social services system

* The relationship between repressive public policy and personal sexual problems

* Why anyone who defends everyone's sexual rights is perceived as attacking "morality" and safety

* Why the public is so eager to give away their rights to sexual freedom

* Why sexual rights are as important as any other American freedom

* How today's War on Sex represents a fundamental challenge to secular American governance.

Klein has been a certified sex therapist for 26 years. He is a passionate advocate of free expression and has been an expert witness, defendant, or consultant in many federal anti-censorship cases. For 6 years he has written Sexual Intelligence, a popular monthly blog. Klein's latest book is America's War on Sex

Klein is fresh off the road from talks at the Museum of Sex, New York's 92nd Street Y, and lectures in Canada, Turkey, Austria, and Croatia.
