Gibbons Would Like to Legislate Your Morals
In typical social conservative, neo-con fashion, Jim Gibbons has said that he would like to see brothels outlawed and he would sign the legislation if it crossed his desk.
First, let me say I have a serious moral objection to prostituion; which is why I don’t participate in it. What a concept right? If you don’t like something you don’t have to participate in it? I also object to in your face temptation of such an immoral act. We don’t have that problem though. We don’t have brothels in downtown Reno, Carson, Sparks, or Vegas. In fact, I can’t even tell you where a brothel is. I don’t want my kids to grow up seeing brothels on every corner thinking it’s okay to engage in. But again, we don’t have that problem.
So why, if one adult wants to drive to the boondocks to pay another adult for sex, is that any of the government’s business?
In smaller counties there are brothels in the center of town. Winnemucca and Elko are the two that I know about. The brothels are two blocks from the main street and there are several.
I also think Gibbons should leave it alone, but outside of the more urban counties, the state does have the problem of it being visible.
