Nudes no problem in Louisiana dining

[Blackaxe]

The Louisiana Supreme Court has ordered a country club to open its men-only restaurant to women, rejecting claims that members sometimes dined there in the nude.

"In the 21st century it is simply archaic to cite protection of women from the sights and sounds of a locker room environment as an excuse for excluding them from the public dining area as it exists in this country club," Justice John Weimer wrote for the unanimous court.

The decision upheld an appeals court ruling against Southern Trace Country Club in Shreveport. The club has three restaurants; only The Men's Grille is open on Sundays.

According to the high court, the club failed to prove its claim that allowing women into the restaurant would violate men's privacy.

In the country club men's only dining room?

Does that even begin to sound right to anybody?
I think there's some seriously kinky shit going on in that dining room.

5. There is so something to this

There is a homoerotic subtext in a lot of the GOP male Jesus cult stuff.

4. Sheesh

Being naked in the locker room is no big deal but I think I'd lose my appetite if I came upon some naked guy in a restaraunt.

7. Hi Blackaxe! read your link, are you from Louisiana?

Interesting article. The lifestyle in Louisiana is unlike any other in the USA. (food, music, culture). But alas, so GOP corrupt! That state will one day soon be blue after the unemployment reaches way beyond the double digits.

11. Wayat bra!

Welcome to DU! :toast:

I agree about the oddball stuff, but Shreveport is almost Ark. I don't ever remember eating good food or hearing good music up thar. I keep telling tourists that the South is North of New Orleans and that this is a Caribbean city.
