NEW: Minneapolis is preparing to consider legalizing adult bathhouses where residents can engage in s*xual activity.
The bathhouses were legal until the 1980s before being closed because of AIDS.
Council members say the LGBTQIA+ community is paying a “devastating price” due to their bathhouses “having been targeted by criminalization and policing.”
Activists say the “clubs” need to come back because they provide “dignity” for the LGBTQ+ community.
“These spaces also enhance feelings of identity, camaraderie, authenticity, and belonging. They are spaces where people overcome isolation and develop a sense of community and pride,” said the Safer S*x Spaces Coalition.
What an all-around disgusting and rotten city.
