Minneapolis may legalize adult bathhouses — allowing adults to engage in sexual activity
Fox News via NY Post ^ | 4/08/26 | Rachel Wolf

The Minneapolis City Council is preparing to consider legalizing and regulating venues, such as bathhouses, where consenting adults can engage in sexual activity, possibly reversing the city’s 38-year ban.

The ordinances in question would remove “stigmatizing language” and add “new definitions to be inclusive of establishments where sexual activity between consenting adults may be facilitated,” according to The Minnesota Star Tribune.

The outlet noted that bathhouses and sex clubs operated in the city until a 1988 ordinance banned businesses that facilitate “high-risk sexual conduct,” which was defined as fellatio, anal intercourse and vaginal intercourse for pay.

The language of the 1988 ordinance was changed in 2023 at the behest of activists with the Safer Sex Spaces Coalition, who argued that it targeted same-sex partnerships and individuals with HIV and AIDS, the Tribune reported.

Additionally, the Safer Sex Spaces Coalition argued that the ban discouraged outreach to communities and drove sex-related gatherings to “unsafe and inaccessible spaces.”

“The Minneapolis Health Department and other public health organizations acknowledge this ordinance is no longer the tool needed to promote public health. Social science research tells us that commercial sex spaces, like gay saunas, are important for promoting safer sex practices, enhancing HIV prevention, and increasing access to testing and treatment.

They are gonna be giant science projects. One never knows what new microscopic creatures will be created. It’s disgusting to even fantasize what could be going on in those places.

Before the rats are done with our culture we will have outdone Sodom and Gomorrah.

“Bath House Barry?”

Is that sarcasm?

+++++
(not for you package guy)

For those youngsters that don’t know, Barack Hussein Obama frequented gay bath houses in Chicago before he became a Senator. Once he became a Senator, there were a lot of odd deaths from his ‘church’ in Chicago.

He had the moniker of “Bath house Barry” in Chicago as a Senator. And then he was elected to President. Twice.

“”””I thought the “gay” hook-up apps took the place of bathhouses?””””

Part of the homosexual thing is being noticed and risk taking, simple dating is not really at the core of homosexuality, just as marriage and lifelong monogamy isn’t.

Numbers, public spaces, conversions, drama, play acting, an audience, all part of the lifestyle.

Mouthwash? Funny. But not really.

I lived in SF decades ago and though I’m a woman, I knew several gay men. One very nice (and handsome) guy told me that they all had 10-15 “partners” every night that they went there. He also went to church eveery Sunday.

???????????

This is why libtards are on the same team as violent Muslims that throw gays off rooftops. Because they vote for the same party - flooding america with millions of replacement voters of the muslim persuasion allows libs and fags to institute insane stuff like this that they would never otherwise be able to get instituted. Same with the tranny crap.

Hell the city should own the bathhouse, charge exorbitant fees to visit and provide their own stable of male whores. They would make millions. Some of the local politicians might visit as a customer or on site worker.

What the hell is wrong with Minnesota?
