ACLU sues over police shutdown of play
It's taken a few years, but the ACLU of Wisconsin has filed a federal First Amendment lawsuit against the Milwaukee Police Department for its role in shutting down a play entitled "Naked Boys Singing," a musical with gay themes that has been produced around the country. The cops shut down the play in 2005, contending that the Milwaukee Gay Arts Center didn't have a proper theater license.
