Bishop in favor of legal Brothels…really
Dateline London…
LONDON (Reuters) - A Roman Catholic bishop in the southern English port city of Portsmouth is backing a campaign to legalize brothels without in any way condoning them.
The Right Reverend Crispian Hollis supported the local branch of the Women’s Institute which wants to license brothels.
“If you are going to take a pragmatic view and say prostitution happens, I think there is a need to make sure it’s as well regulated as possible for the health of people involved and for the safety of the ladies themselves,” Hollis said.
“That’s not to say I approve of prostitution in any way. I would be very much happier if there was no prostitution in Portsmouth,” he told The Portsmouth News.
“But it’s going to be there whatever we do and it has been from time immemorial. So I think that is something we have to be realistic about.”
His comments won praise from Rachel Frost, from the International Union for Sex Workers.
“The bishop should be commended for having the guts to come out and say that,” she said.
Well there we go. That is a first, is it not? Sounds kind of Hillary’esq…I am not in favor of it…but we should consider it.
If it was good for Martin Luther, it is good for me. Please help me pay my hosting by buying me a beer.Did you enjoy this post? Why not leave a comment below and continue the conversation, or subscribe to my feed and get articles like this delivered automatically to your feed reader.
