The Minneapolis City Council holds a second public hearing as it considers an ordinance to repeal the city’s 1988 ban on adult bathhouses. Multiple outlets report that the hearing draws broad support from residents and advocates who argue that the ban is outdated and that it limits consensual sexual activity between adults. Speakers include several LGBTQ+ activists, who say the original ordinance effectively targeted same-sex relationships when it was adopted. According to reports, more than 30 residents testify during the session. The city is weighing changes ahead of a scheduled council vote, which is expected to follow the public hearings. While the outlets focus on support presented at the meeting, the coverage describes the process in which community members make arguments for and against the proposed repeal. The ordinance would remove the restriction on venues where consenting adults can engage in sexual activity, replacing the existing prohibition with whatever regulatory framework the council adopts. The council’s final decision is not reported in the provided summaries.
