NOW GAYS PLAN TO DESTROY THE SANCTITY OF PROSTITUTION

Las Vegas Sun - Men may now join the ranks of Nevada's brothel prostitutes, after a unanimous decision that added language to health codes so male sex workers could be tested for infectious diseases.

A brothel industry lobbyist -- in what could be considered a befuddling double standard -- bemoaned the change, comparing it to the industry's "Pearl Harbor." . . . ."

Men were previously barred in Nevada from the oldest profession because codes specified that prostitutes must undergo "cervical" testing for sexually transmitted diseases, which ruled out men.

Bobbi Davis, owner of the Shady Lady Ranch, a small brothel near Beatty, wanted to add male prostitutes to her stable of sex workers.

And while there have been plans for brothels to hire men in the past, Davis made the first-ever request to have the Nevada State Board of Health add urethral exams to the guidelines. That allows male sex workers to be tested for sexually transmitted diseases. . .

George Flint, the former Assemblies of God minister who has been lobbying for the Nevada Brothel Owners Association for 24 years, said he "reluctantly -- and I underscore reluctantly" agrees to the change. . .

"We've worked hard for years to make the traditional brothel business in this state socially acceptable an something we can be proud of that most Nevadans accept," Flint added. "We have some concerns that this can be diluted by what Ms. Bobbi Davis wants to try."

. . . "It was inevitable with Pearl Harbor we'd have a problem there someday, and we've known this would be a problem, too," he said.

Why would only gay men and not straight women use the services of male prostitutes? I don't see the logic, although I know little about the Nevada sex industry.
