(James DeHaven | Reno Gazette-Journal) – Nevada’s oldest brothel has released a new mini-documentary touting the benefits of legalized sex work, landing the latest blow in a years-long battle between sex workers and anti-prostitution activists.
The slickly produced 8-minute short film — commissioned by the Mustang Ranch and debuted at the Storey County brothel on Thursday — features interviews with sex workers interspersed with romantic, dimly lit shots of a male brothel guest undressing. …
The film concludes with a title card encouraging viewers to keep brothels legal in Nevada — by far the movie’s most explicit nod to the ongoing spat over Nevada’s prostitution industry. …
Reno attorney Jason Guinasso and other brothel ban proponents have long pledged to keep up the fight against legalized sex work, and are expected to continue pushing the issue when the Nevada Legislature reconvenes early next year.
