The U.S. Supreme Court recently made headlines by declining to review two separate cases related to sexually oriented businesses and drag shows, sparking discussions on legal and social fronts. In Dallas, the Supreme Court's decision not to take up a case leaves in place a city ordinance requiring sexually oriented businesses to close during early morning hours, an attempt by the city to reduce crime. This ordinance, enacted to reduce crime, had been previously upheld by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, leading Dallas to begin enforcing the curfew in November. Meanwhile, in North Brookfield, a settlement was reached in a lawsuit involving the ACLU and the town, concerning attempts to block a Pride event featuring a drag show. The Supreme Court's refusal to hear the Dallas case and the settlement in North Brookfield highlight ongoing legal battles and societal debates over the regulation of sexually oriented businesses and LGBTQ+ events.
