A regulation on "lewd conduct" will no longer be enforced, the Washington Liquor and Cannabis Board announced Thursday.

The Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board will immediately suspend enforcement of its lewd conduct rule after inspections at Seattle LGBTQ+ nightlife venues last weekend drew sharp criticism …

Well, that was fast.After raiding four gay bars last week and finding nothing but a nipple and jockstraps, the Liquor and Cannabis Board has paused enforcement of its lewd conduct rules, according to a signed letter sent to state officials.

Over the weekend, two Seattle area gay bars - The Cuff Complex and The Seattle Eagle - were the targets of a crackdown by law enforcement.

Judging by the board’s mood at the meeting, it’s looking like something might happen.

Outraged members of Seattle’s LGBTQ community are calling for accountability following what have been called “raids” at two popular nightclubs on Capitol Hill.

What year is it again?

Seattle gay bars including The Cuff Complex and The Seattle Eagle were raided by a coalition of local authorities over the weekend.
