City Says Claimed Religious Institutions Are Sex Clubs

According to yesterday's Dallas Morning News, Dallas, Texas officials have filed two separate lawsuits against Wyakie Glenn Hudson, who claims to be an ordained minister, to close down two adult businesses that Hudson claims are religious institutions.  An undercover investigation revealed that the Darkside is an all-night dance club for those 17 years old and above, with sex and drugs on the premises, while Hudson claims it is a place of worship. The Playground is a "swingers club" catering to adults that want to engage in random consensual sexual activities, but its certificate of occupancy is for a church, mosque or synagogue. AP reports that yesterday a court granted a temporary restraining order closing The Playground.
