I was under the impression that some law made it illegal to give
(sell etc) sexually explicit material to a minor.  Is there really
such a law?  Is it federal, state, or local?

I have heard this is the issue behind the Stonewall Union booth
bruhaha at the Ohio State Fair, that one of the newspapers they
were handing out, "Gaybeat", included an explict porno story,
and that it was freely given to minors.  The newspaper seems to
leave out this detail, instead focusing on censorship.
