The Null Device

Update: Some months ago, a disabled woman sued the organisers of a "swingers'" party for discrimination because nobody would have sex with her. The organisers countered that she was asked to leave because of her "aggressive and unpleasant" behaviour (and someone mentioned poor personal hygiene as well). Now the plaintiff has lost the case; however, the judge ruled that a ruling of discrimination could not be upheld as the venue was an illegal brothel:

He said the activities would affront the public conscience and "even in the modern age would be regarded as against good morals" and therefore discrimination laws should not apply.

Now, granted, the image of flabby, rich, baby-boomer types running around naked and engaging in spontaneous group sex is rather disturbing to contemplate, but to say that activities between consenting adults in private "affront the public conscience" seems rather puritanical.
