"Promotion" would likely be interpreted in the sense of commercial advertising. A law that reached advocacy of prostitution in the abstract would be clearly unconstitutional under the standard set by Brandenburg v. Ohio, 395 U.S. 444 (1969). Only speech that proposes a specific illegal act is excluded from First Amendment protection. Pittsburgh Press Co. v.
