Bride-to-be sues DC over dance ban, lawyers cite film ‘Footloose’ and say strip clubs permit dancing

BPR:

Claiming the city is violating her First Amendment rights, a bride-to-be has sued the District of Columbia over its ban on dancing at weddings.

Margaret Appleby, who is scheduled to get married on June 6, filed a lawsuit on Monday, with her lawyers comparing the dancing ban to “an imitation of the 1984 movie Footloose.

The film starred a very young Kevin Bacon as a teen trying to overturn a dancing ban imposed on a small town by a minister played by John Lithgow.

After initially lifting a mask mandate, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser backtracked on May 1, yielding to pressure. Not only did she reinstate the mandate, she imposed stringent restrictions on weddings, permitting just 25 percent capacity at venues, and a waiver required if more than 250 people attend. Guests are required to remain seated and socially distanced during the entire event, which means no dancing. read more

  1. Weird how “liberals” have become worse than Puritans and Nazis at their own games.

    Extra weird is how they can’t see themselves as what they accuse others of.
