Holiday Inn under fire for hosting Winter Wickedness Event
Every year there are over 200 BDSM events held across the US, and most of them go unnoticed. This weekend though, certain religious groups have noticed this “freakish sadomasochistic perversion-fest” (Peter LaBarbara of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality) and they are publicly asking people to call and pressure the hotel to cancel the event.
They have a right to do this, but those of us who support other people’s freedom no matter what our personal views on the issue are should express our support for the hotel’s willingness to stand up to these groups.
Personally I am not a fan of BDSM, but I do not believe that my personal or religious views should prevent consenting adults from getting together to discuss the things they enjoy.
I hope you feel the same and that you visit the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom for phone numbers and advice on what to say to the Holiday Inn.
