Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Over at OnPoint, a legal issues blog from the Courthouse News Service, Matthew Heller argues that Duncanville's gonna have a very hard time swallowing The Cherry Pit. As in:
Even if Duncanville can defend the scope of its ordinance, it still is unlikely to show that its interest in prohibiting sex clubs outweighs the liberty interest in private sexual conduct established by the U.S. Supreme Court in Lawrence v. Texas, 539 U.S. 558 (2003).
Heller provides Jim Trulock's suit against Duncanville, for those who need a little light reading today. In related news, I'd never been to the Cherry Pit's Web site before -- swear -- and, like, who wouldn't wanna fight for their right to party there? Looks ... clean. --Robert Wilonsky
