Tom Lehrer literally said, while being recorded for an album, "I do have a cause. It is: obscenity. I'm for it," as the preamble for a song he wrote called "Smut." The point of said song was to be a rallying cry against letting the supreme court take away people's 'freedom of pleasure' in the US.

The quote you cited is from an interview where he explains that he wrote a dirty song lampooning the boy scouts, Be Prepared, and it was banned across a broad swath of Australia, and when he was on tour he humiliated the government of Brisbane by singing it (despite the ban) so the next city on his tour, Adelaide, forced him to either sign a legal document promising not to sing that song (and four others they also objected to) or be denied use of the venue he'd booked for his tour. There were police set to take him to jail if he went back on his promise, so instead, he treated his audience to a speech commenting on the situation. And in retrospect excused himself by saying he was avoiding being incarcerated.

If you're in one of the countries that's gone full-on totalitarian in its handling of the internet (and I definitely consider Australia one of those), I'm sorry, and I'm not judging you. That said, I support all of the fic on the AO3, and everyone's right to read as they please.
