The Tacony Civic Association only heard about the plan after the sex-positive group applied for a variance to allow live entertainment for more than 50 people in the venue. 'It really doesn't serve any one individual community,' Hinchey said, 'but we do serve all communities who feel marginalized by the larger, mainstream culture.' The community center’s rallying cry: Any variation of sexual pleasure is healthy, as long as all parties use protection and give consent. Hinchey said the planned community center is part of a nationwide movement for acceptance of alternative sexual behaviors, and would welcome people with nearly any preference, from leather to polyamory. As of Wednesday, only two tenants used the first floor: the Tacony Community Development Corporation and a daycare. Hinchey, one of the group’s main organizers, said the social club would occupy the top two floors of the Tacony Music Hall.
'Yes, occasionally there will be people who have sex.' 'If people want to engage in sexual behavior in our space, in the safety and consent-driven culture that we're trying to create, then we would prefer they do it there than in what has largely been a world of marginalized alternative-sexual communities,' she said.
So, to be clear, there will be no sex at this social club?
