do you think prostitution should be legal?

Why? If you freely admit that it isn't a big deal, and you would like to make it legal, then why do you feel sex workers should be persecuted and maligned in any way? I think people get depressed and suicidal in such situations precisely because society treats them like freshly pushed poo.

I do not want them *persecuted* at all. However, I never want the society at large to say that prostitution is *normal* or *okay*. Legality of it is one thing (and that doesn't bother me), however, it should never be accepted by society as something positive or even benign. Prostitution should always be bad in the eyes of the general public.
