There’s one thing Nevada voters across party lines can agree on: they love them some brothels, according to recent Public Policy Polling.
In fact, 64 percent of Nevadans think brothels should be legal, while only 23 percent think they should be illegal.

The most striking conclusion of the polling reflects that equal numbers of both Democrats and Republicans — 66 percent — each think that brothels should be legal.
In comparison, however, in late March, Public Policy Polling found that only 20 percent of Nevada GOP voters supported same-sex marriage.
Nevada is the only U.S. state to allow legalized prostitution, in the form of regulated brothels, which are typically situated in isolated rural areas.

Brothels make money…equality doesn’t.
stay classy Nevada
one does have to wonder about cat houses legal in these days regardless of anything else., i guess it’s morals and money as opposed to morals and doing what the people want.
Equality does, though. Marriages are an economic boom to states, and states that prohibit equality lose businesses to other states because of talent drain.
wow, because that makes total sense….. O.o
Oh, I agree, Peter, I was just being mildly catty. :-)
…there are no words to truly describe how BACKWARD this is.
There’s always Carolina. You can marry your cousin just not your gay cousin..
There’s something incredibly wrong with that notion. Have we drifted in an alternate universe or something?
I personally believe that a person should have the right to have sex with whomever they want for whatever reason they want, even if it is for money. The issue of whether or not prostiution should be legal has NOTHING to do with marriage equality.
WTF!
Typical of homophobes
