The links below feature, Stephanie Babines, owner of Oh My You're Gorgeous, pole dance school, fought and won a settlement; after several months long battle over being able to occupy her studio, by towns officials.
The consensus was that a business that featured pole dancing, was too provocative and was viewed as a "adult oriented business". Knowing better, Ms. Babines hired savvy attorneys who took the case to the American Civil Liberties Union; and won!
It is the rest of us who will gain the benefit of this extremely important case. I celebrate the courage and the effort of Ms. Babines, who took on a lot of heat. I also commend the American Civil Liberties Union on their positive decision, a important one for the US!
