Death becomes halt: DC court closes doors of gay sex club, City Paper seeks full exposure
From the Washington City Paper, regarding the ”Men’s Parties” that have taken place at a 14th Street row house for quite a while, and which recently came under scrutiny when a patron died in what appears to have been an accidental fall:
”For now, the D.C. Wrestling Club has been ordered to stop partying, stop advertising, and replace its purposefully nondescript business entrance with some interesting signage…. Nonprofit organizations (if they’re legit) are required to make their tax forms publicly available. The tax forms would shine some light on the amount of “donations” the club has been reporting for tax purposes, and where the money has been going. I haven’t been able to track any forms down yet, but now that I know that the club is back in business, I’ll ask for some copies.”
