Wow, I love the ideas of this group. I know they got hardly any votes in the May elections in B.C. but you have to start somewhere.
And in May they took action against the Liquor Licensing Board. I would argue similar arguments might be made for full contact laps in B.C. like much of the rest of Canada enjoys.
The Sex Party has made good on its promise to challenge in court the sex-negative policies and decisions of the provincial Liquor Licencing Branch. The Party filed a Petition in the BC Supreme Court Wednesday afternoon May 4, 2005 against the General Manager of the Branch.
Liquor officials ban all entertainment involving erotic contact in any bar in BC or even private premises where liquor is sold under a Special Occasion Licence.
The Sex Party SAVY event (Sex - Art - Vote Yes!) was held May 12 featuring three of Vancouver's hottest couples making love as part of the art installation Eye Voyeur Agapornis. The SAVY event will also include body painting, nude photography, presentations by the three Sex Party candidates, and lots of interactive events. No such political gathering has ever occurred before in Canada.
Even with the special circumstances of this unique assembly, Liquor officials banned the art installations involving erotic touch.
The court case challenges that decision.
While liquor officials ban all erotic touch, they allow violent contact in public licenced areas. For example, a Canucks fan can legally sip a beer in the stands and watch the bloody fights on the ice at Canucks games at GM Place. Prize fighting and kick boxing are also allowed where liquor is served. In BC blood can flow and so can booze. But no erotic contact.
"Imagine the outcry if a liquor official took offence at the fighting in hockey games and withdrew the liquor licence from GM Place. The media and the public would be outraged, The prohibition on all erotic touch, even as part of an art exhibition at a political event involving only carefully screened adults, should attract the same derision."
