Politics: August 2005 Archives

I wrote about my bachelorette experience at the Naked Boys Singing show in a previous post, where I mentioned that a traveling version of the show had once been shut down in Atlanta, only to be reinstated by the mayor who did a good deal of apologizing. Looks like the same thing has happened in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The production was shut down before it started by the city's vice squad on the grounds that the theater lacked the proper license. The boys without clothing are fighting back by filing a notice of injury and claim against the city, which is a precursor to a lawsuit. They are claiming "that the efforts of the Vice Squad were motivated by a known anti-gay abortion rights leader and the license in question is only held by three of the 28 theaters currently operating in the City."
