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.

Timmy waltzing in? VIP pass .🛀
I guess Minnesota just can’t go extreme, far-left, nutcase fast enough!
HOW MANY RUNGS ON THAT LADDER TO HELL DOES MINNEAPOLIS HAVE
What could go wrong?
My gaydar won’t shut up. /s
This country is circling the drain.
How charming.
I assume they will have a larning center next door with stocked with the prekindergarteners for ease of access.
What’s to figure? Some cities like a variety of pandemics and never met a public health crisis they didn’t like.
Why? Who is behind this?
“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.”
Well DUH!
Minneapolis……who’d a thunk it? (No surprises here)
I remember a picture in an old San Francisco Examiner of the interior of a bathhouse. All it showed was a dispenser of mouthwash.
Bathhouses? Like where Obama met Larry Sinclair?
Bathhouse Barry approves.
“Adults”. More like freaks.
GAYDAR has a lock ... Faggotometer shows off-scale measurement.
Can’t we just give that sick and disgusting state to Canada and write it off?
AIDS, and several other diseases that cannot be cured. Herpes, try it you’ll like it.
What would help, is to make the queers pay for their own medical care including drugs. Let them die from the disease, that spreads ONLY through needle drug usage, and sex.
Homosexuals need to be shamed, and they should, be ashamed.
Chase them back to the hell they deserve. Shame, disease, and inability to be teachers, or work in government is my recommendation.
Definitely not allowed in to serve in the military.
All by itself, the process produces conflict over public behavior, demanding enforced settlements they use to push things ever farther.
