It’s part of the travel and tourism industry, but not many like to talk about it. It’s legal in many parts of the world, illegal in many other parts of the world. It’s the oldest job in the world.
In Europe it’s business like usually in the red light district, in the United States exceptions to make prostitution a recognized and legal profession is only the case in some counties in the State of Nevada today.
This may change in the Aloha State Hawaii. For many seen as a tourism paradise, Hawaii lawmakers are considering decriminalizing prostitution in the state after the speaker of the House introduced a bill that would also legalize buying sex and acting as a pimp. It would mean visitors could not only enjoy the white sandy beaches, the great food, shopping, but also they could buy sex in paradise.

Isishoshovu seTransgender uTracy Ryan uthe uzama ukukholisa izishayamthetho zombuso ukuthi ziphasise umthethosivivinywa ngoba abantu besifazane abadlulayo bevezwa ngokweqile ekuhwebeni ngocansi ngakho-ke bathinteka ngokungenakulinganiswa nemithetho yokwenza ubugebengu.
USomlomo weNdlu uJoseph Souki uthe enkulumweni abe nayo nephephandaba lendawo, ukuthi akanaso isikhundla kulo mthethosivivinywa futhi wawethula njengomusa kuRyan.
IHawaii inomlando ongajwayelekile ngophenyo lobufebe. Kuze kube ngu-2014, bekusemthethweni ukuthi amaphoyisa alale nezifebe njengengxenye yophenyo, kodwa abomthetho bombuso bakushintsha lokho ngemuva kokuthi i-Associated Press iveze ukugqoza kwendaba.
Ummeli Wezokushushisa waseHonolulu uKeith Kaneshiro uthe lo mthethosivivinywa uzokwenza kube nzima ukubhekana nokushushumbiswa komhlaba ngocansi ngoba “kuzoba nzima kakhulu ukuthola abalingisi abangalungile, kube nzima kakhulu ukuthola ofakazi abazokwenza amacala.”
UMichael Golojuch Jr., ongusihlalo wekhokhasi ye-LGBT yeDemocratic Party yaseHawaii, uthe abantu besifazane abasebenza ngokweqile bamelwe ngokweqile uma kuqhathaniswa nabanye besifazane abathengisa ngocansi ngoba ukucwaswa ababhekana nakho kuholela ekutheni abanye babone sengathi yilona kuphela uhlobo lomsebenzi abangaluthola.
UGolojuch ngokwakhe uyawusekela umqondo wokuthi umthetho wenziwa ubufebe, kodwa wathi yena kanye nekhokhasi bebengakabeki ezingeni elisemthethweni ngalo mthethosivivinywa.
Lo mthethosivivinywa nomunye wokunqanda insangu ngokungemthetho kungenzeka ube yingxenye yomzamo wokunciphisa isibalo sabasemajele, kusho uMholi weHouse Majority uScott Saiki.
