SALINA, Kan. - A man spent a week on the roof of one of two adult bookstores in town to protest a movement to have the stores investigated for obscenity.

Ray Morris, 38, came down from his perch on top of Behind Closed Doors on Saturday morning after staying in a tent there since the previous Saturday.

?I can?t stress enough that I am not promoting porn,? Morris said. ?I?m promoting the idea of choice. Everyone has a right to choose whether they want to enter these stores.?

Some local residents are gathering signatures in a petition drive to force a grand jury to investigate whether Behind Closed Doors and another store, Priscilla?s, are promoting obscenity by selling sex products.

A similar petition drive in nearby Abilene resulted in grand jury indictments against the Lion?s Den adult bookstore.

During his stint on the roof, Morris displayed a sign urging passing motorists to honk if they support his cause, but a few people also made obscene gestures toward him, he said.

Morris, a cosmetics salesman, said he wants state legislators to change the state?s obscenity laws or remove them altogether.

Big ups to the man that takes some balls...:thumbsup

Yeah, that's an awesome move. :thumbsup

Yea, there's no right wing agenda to attack porn :1orglaugh

You know when that guy joins a site he stays. America needs more guys like him!

amen

I wonder if he came down to take a dump occasionally.

I hope he released his turds on anti-porn people protesting against his protest (if there were any)
