BOISE (AP) - A scantily clad couple is free to canoodle on a downtown sidewalk as long as they're making a political statement, a city spokesman said.
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals will be in Boise on Friday staging a "Live Make-Out Tour" to promote vegetarian eating, PETA spokesman Ravi Chand said.
The event - in which a couple will make out in a bed set up on a city sidewalk - is meant to demonstrate PETA's claims that vegetarians are better lovers, Chand said. Additional activists will pass out information about the health benefits of vegan living.
Though both the city and the state have public indecency laws, Zuzel said, but he did not believe the demonstration would violate them. Besides, he said, political events are given more leeway in the rules.
