I remember not too long ago the mayor of island of Lesbos didn't want the female gays who are not residents to the island say that they are lesbians! About the same thing. Venice used to be the liberal place in ancient history during the Holy Roman era. A merchant and trade town, the window to the Far East. Anything went as long as it did not offend the Doge. Somehow they got away with things the reigning Popes didn't like. An historical 180.
