Dallas, Texas, is worried about their image.

‘Bout time, right?

Their city council voted 8-7 to ban an Erotic Convention in Dallas.

The city of Dallas voted on Wednesday to ban an erotica expo featuring porn stars, sex toy sales and a whipping dungeon from a city-owned convention center, with event opponents saying it could taint the city’s image.

This same event was help in Dallas in 2015 with absolutely no incidents and by incidents, I mean no guns were accidentally discharged.

Dallas Police Chief David Brown told the council that undercover officers saw no crimes committed at last year’s event, and there was no reported spike in prostitution or violations of the state’s obscenity laws.

“I do not believe this event is good for our city’s brand,” Rawlings said. “This is a business that participates in the commerce of sex, pure and simple.”

The center’s namesake, former U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson, was sitting among expo opponents in the crowd and did not speak at the meeting.

So, if Dallas wants to keep it’s reputation as a stuffy, rightwing, holier than thou mecca for the Tea Party, then job well done!

Thanks to Paul for the heads up.
