Yes, it is free speech. The oldest profession in the world is NOT prostitution folks...it's SALES!! (hookers gotta sell it first).^-^
We have free speech, but can't yell "fire" in a crowd, how come we can enter a legit field and holler "sex?" The danger is the same.
Prostitution is NOT going away, and it should be made legal, regulated/licensed, and taxed. This makes things safer for everyone, including-for example-the massage therapy industry where, if you just look in the phone book, TONS of prostitution is advertised there. I am a therapist, and at times feel unsafe because of the amount of men who call me looking for sex, and my ads say NO SEX.
There are avenues of prevention in place for these ads now...The Nevada State Board of Massage has been given authority to shut down the phone numbers in ads that misrepresent themselves as a massage business. It's one step in the right direction. Perhaps if their ads no longer generate income they will stop advertising there.
Also, online classifieds such as Kijiji.com strictly monitor and regulate illicit ads, and promptly remove them, and block the user from posting. Craigslist doesn't to that.
In fact, since doing this whole "adult services" fee thing, they (hookers) just post in the "therapeutic" section for free, and the ability to "report" them has actually been removed by CL!! Now, users cannot even notify CL of infringement. CL just doesn't care about anything but the bottom line.
As for the handbills, they need to be fined for littering up the strip. Those cards are all over the sidewalks and streets.
Any attempt to tell a business who it can market to (offers and coupons)interferes with a free market enterprise. Restricting a business and who it is allowed to market to will destroy it.
What has not been looked at here are the many ways in which women are gouged everyday (she pays $8 to dry clean a "women's blouse" while a man pays $3 to have his "men's shirt" hang next to the blouse in the same machine).
I agree there should be equality, yet to win from this platform has ramifications beyond what this whiny individual can see.
He was NOT discriminated against in joining the gym, just at the time, a coupon was offered to women. He had the choice to say no, and take his business somewhere else. When denied access because he is male, that IS discrimination based on sex.
If this goes forward, it means that companies will no longer be able to market to a demographic (target) audience involving race, gender, religion, etc....ramifications people!
I think it's a crying shame to build a sports arena with gambling in it in the first place. We have plenty of places, can I please take my son to a game without seeing slot machines? Bad enough most movie theatres,bowling alleys,and arcades are in casinos;it seems,nowhere is sacred.

Did anyone here think to mention the unfairness of only women being targeted for being topless??? There are a LOT of men out there that have NO business parading around topless!! Dunlops are NOT attractive people! Lets cover em all up!
Really though, if a law discriminates between what gender can remove what articles of clothing, it needs to be removed. Let the women run rampant! (even the 300lbs ones!!!)
