Dear Friend, We mourn the passing of Mr. Gary Wilson—a brilliant-minded, highly ethical, tenacious, and valiant man whose work passionately shined light on the public health harms of pornography. It is hard for us to describe the immensity of the loss that Gary’s passing means to his family, many friends and allies, and to the movement to confront the public health harms of pornography that he pioneered. Gary’s TEDx talk, website, and book provided the answers that so many men and women unable to defeat their compulsive use of pornography had long sought. With a compassion deeply steeped in his encyclopedic knowledge of the social and neuroscience research on pornography’s effects, Gary literally rescued countless numbers of individuals from pornography’s grip of despair and despondency. We are eternally grateful for Gary’s life and work that has impacted millions of people around the world. We add our voice to the thousands of others saying, “Thank you, Gary Wilson.” Sincerely, Dawn Hawkins CEO, National Center on Sexual Exploitation |
