2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

so, per a thing on NPR radio... it was 4 gay bars and 6 other establishments (presumably that serve alcohol.)
Not gonna say it wasn't harassment - cuz it was. There is and was a better way to handle it, even if the law needs to be enforced at all. I would suggest the purpose behind the law makes sense. I know Minneapolis handles the issue by not giving places that allow nudity liquor licenses, and from experience, drunken horndogs are some of the worst humans you've met.
I don't see any justification at all for government-enforced dress codes in private adult-only spaces. I think the government should fuck off and stop exerting cultural control over people.
I work in contract security… years ago, one of our clients was adjacent to a full strip club. This club added a just-detached-enough bar (I think the rule is separate entrances?). As soon as that bar opened… the client saw a 3-fold increase in incidents. 10 fold increases over violent incidents requiring the subjects be cuffed and removed.
Drunken assholes trying to get laid by demonstrating their masculinity…. Let’s just say I’d rather deal with drug dealers.
Aside from covering a property that was adjacent to a trump rally intake/overflow point and the Super Bowl a few years back (fucking Philly fans…)… my single-night arrest record goes to a drunken Halloween orgy.
Booze does not mix well with most things… it especially does not mix well with hormones.
