Parents in Arms
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Parents in Arms was a community organization active in the 1980s in Seattle which petitioned the Seattle City Council for the creation of the Teen Dance Ordinance. Seattle-area attorney David Crosby established it in 1985 when his 14-year old son Ian ran away from home after various acts of teenage rebellion.[1] The closure of the Monastery, a church and disco with gay youth patrons, was an objective of the organization.[2]
