Minneapolis Moves Toward Bathhouse Regulation

Minneapolis is poised to legalize adult bathhouses and sex venues with two new ordinances set for council vote this Thursday — not full legalization, but a regulatory framework that repeals a 1988 HIV-era ban and paves the way for safe, licensed spaces. Supporters say regulation will boost public health, foster community connection, and end decades of secrecy and stigma — especially for LGBTQ+ residents. While some council members remain cautious about safety and logistics, passage could soon transform Minneapolis into a national model for responsible, regulated adult spaces.
