Background

Young v. American Mini Theatres, Inc.

(Redirected from Young v. American Mini Theatres )

Young v. American Mini Theatres, 427 U.S. 50 (1976), is a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States upheld a city ordinance of Detroit , Michigan requiring dispersal of adult businesses throughout the city.

Justice Stevens (writing for the plurality) reasoned that the speech involved here is of lower value , and the city also has a compelling interest in protecting quality of life .

Justice Powell (concurring) disagreed with Stevens' "lower value speech" argument (thus limiting Part III of the opinion to a plurality), but wrote that this is only a place restriction with a limited effect on speech.
