Of course there will be less illegal brothels. Because they will now be legal.
Ha ha...ok, that's a good one.
What I meant was...they are
all illegal at the moment. If the Ontario Supreme Court ruling survives, then prostitutes will have a choice to operate out of legal premises (as yet undetermined of course). The premises that will continue to be illegal will be reduced, as many will choose to operate within the law, if given the option.
This does
not mean that any current brothel will automatically become legal.
What exactly would be an "appropriate location"? An apartment immediately next door to another apartment where small children live?
Municipal/condo bylaws already prohibit this, and will continue to do so. You can't operate a brothel out of your apartment, any more than you can operate a pizza parlour. And either soliciting, or performing prostitution in a public place or pimping is still illegal, so that's not going to change.
But I'm a little curious as to what it is about prostitution that you find so inappropriate to "
children". Unless they are involved (which will always be very illegal), children are oblivious to it...it's the adults that have the moral issues. Prostitution is just the buying and selling of sexual services between consenting adults, which is perfectly legal in Canada. Consenting adults have sex because they are horny...to pro-create...as an expression of emotional connection...or in exchange for favours/money.
It's safe to assume that there are people having sex in that next door apartment, so it boils down to you not liking the
reason they are having sex, and that's simply not something you, or the state have a right to determine.
I'm just curious what kind of location would be "appropriate""?
I have no idea...that will probably be up to municipalities to handle. This should make the circus down at City Hall even more interesting.
But I must say, that creating "red light districts" is just another form of ghettoizing, and always a bad move.
