Abstract:In the spring of 1993 the opening of Pure Pleasure Book Store in Mesquite, Nevada, met with protests from many of the citizens of Virgin Valley in southeast Nevada. The conservative and church-going community rallied around members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormons) who objected to what they saw as an affront to the moral standards of the community and the dangers that pornography presented to children and families. The Mesquite Chamber of Commerce formed an organization with the acronym HOME, Help Our Moral Environment, to fight for the closure of the bookstore. HOME attracted support from the citizens of the valley and neighboring communities in Utah who volunteered to serve on picket lines near the store with signs denouncing pornography. Store owners asserted their right to free speech and kept the doors open while challenging a zoning ordinance in the courts that was passed by the City of Mesquite which prohibited such businesses. As the courts deliberated, picketing continued for twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, for two and a half years. On March 27, 1996, in Las Vegas Federal District Court, Judge Phillip Pro ruled in favor of the City of Mesquite to close the offending business under the authority of its zoning ordinance.
摘要:1993年春天，内华达州梅斯基特市的纯乐书店开业，遭到了内华达州东南部维珍谷许多市民的抗议。保守和去教堂的社区团结在耶稣基督后期圣徒教会(摩门教徒)的成员周围，他们反对他们认为这是对社区道德标准的侮辱，以及色情给儿童和家庭带来的危险。Mesquite商会成立了一个缩写为HOME(帮助我们的道德环境)的组织，争取关闭这家书店。HOME吸引了犹他州山谷和邻近社区的市民的支持，他们自愿站在商店附近的警戒线上，举着谴责色情作品的标语。店主们坚持他们的言论自由权，并在法庭上挑战梅斯基特市(City of Mesquite)通过的禁止此类企业的分区条例，继续开门营业。随着法院的审议，纠察活动每周7天，每天24小时持续了两年半。1996年3月27日，在拉斯维加斯联邦地区法院，法官菲利普·普罗(Phillip Pro)裁定梅斯基特市在其分区条例的授权下关闭违规业务。
