HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—Performer, writer, and filmmaker Siouxsie Q recently joined veteran industry professionals Casey Calvert and Eli Cross to contribute to an article titled, "Porn Stars: Oscar Favorite 'Anora' Gets Sex Work Right," written by Andrew Marszal and distributed via AFP to several major media outlets, including France24.com and Yahoo.com.
Siouxsie Q told AFP, "We've come a long way, baby. We really have."
The article explored the movie Anora and its depiction of consensual adult sex work, a subject rarely given fair representation in mainstream media. As an industry advocate, Siouxsie provided her insight on the significance of Anora’s recognition and how it contributes to a more nuanced and respectful portrayal of sex work in entertainment.
Said Siouxsie Q, "It’s truly exciting to see a film like Anora receive mainstream accolades while depicting consensual adult sex work with authenticity and respect. I’m thrilled to be part of this important conversation, and I encourage everyone to read the article and engage with the discussion."
