Isn't the difference between burlesque and stripping about the same as the difference between Coke and 7-up? "Noooo! It's different! It's the UNCOLA!"
I mean, what are the basic ingredients? You're on stage, dancing sexy, to music, for money, in front of people drinking. Most burlesque dancers get at least topless; some strippers only get topless. What exactly is the difference?
Just about everything you said in your letter was completely true, even though you seem to think you were being sarcastic.
The right to pursue happiness is a civil right; so is freedom from fear and persecution. Your attempts to harass this group and to deny them those rights have made it clear that they are a vulnerable minority.
You're correct that your own group does have the basic right to freedom of speech, but hate speech is still a crime. You have abused your Freedom of Speech in an attempt to limit the rights of others, and therefore deserve to be silenced and punished.
It's really very simple: they have the right to be happy; you do not have the right to interfere with any of their legal activities, or to incite others to do so.
