A popular porn website — xHamster — has gone dark in North Carolina in protest of a new state law that restricts the rights of the LGBT community.

Those who visit the site from a North Carolina IP address currently see nothing but a black screen.

As first reported by The Huffington Post, the ban went into effect on Monday, and xHamster said it will remain in place until the North Carolina repeals House Bill 2, which allows for discrimination based on sexual orientation. Passed on March 23, the law requires that public bathrooms and changing facilities be used according to biological sex. In other words, transgender people must use the restroom that matches the gender on their birth certificate.

In a statement to PCMag.com, an xHamster spokesperson said the company is aiming to draw attention to North Carolina's "pattern of human rights violations" with this blackout.

"Our goal is to fight for the equality for everyone and we will stand our ground," XHamster.com said. "Everybody has a right to their own sexuality and xHamster is there to love and support people the way they are. Respecting others sexuality may not come easy, but this is something we must all work together to address."

XHamster joins a growing list of big names that have opposed the law, including Apple, IBM, Google, Facebook, Intel, and PayPal, which last week axed a $3.6 million expansion into Charlotte over House Bill 2.

"The new law perpetuates discrimination and it violates the values and principles that are at the core of PayPal's mission and culture," PayPal CEO Dan Schulman wrote in a blog post. "[It] invalidates protections of the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender citizens and denies these members of our community equal rights under the law."

PayPal is now searching for an alternative location for its operations center, but has promised to work with the LGBT community in North Carolina to overturn "this discriminatory legislation."
