Seattle's gay bars underwent raids by local authorities, where venue owners allege that citations were issued solely based on patrons' clothing choices. The Joint Enforcement Team (JET), a collaboration of local authorities including the Seattle Police and the State Liquor and Cannabis Board, targeted 15 establishments, including four LGBTQ+ bars for lewd conduct violations. The inspections also included a college bar, a music venue, and a bowling alley. Owners of The Cuff Complex and The Seattle Eagle, both LGBTQ+ establishments, assert no prior citations for alcohol or violence-related offenses, emphasizing that the issue appears to revolve around customers' clothing choices solely. #Queer Up The USA View
