Porn Vs. Art, Why do we care?

When I was in High school I had a remarkable photography teacher, Mr. Creighton. He conned me into copying a Robert Mapplethorpe self portrait series for my final project. I didn't know Mapplethorpe.

Robert Mapplethorpe, Self Portrait

When I saw the work he had done, I freaked out! I couldn't do it! Mr. Creighton told me to do some self portraits and write an essay about Mapplethorpe's work and the impact it had on society.
I was shocked. I had no idea there was such an outcry in the art world, such a problem with nudity or homosexual/homoerotic depictions.
