Representative among these was an law passed by San Francisco's Board of Supervisors criminalizing appearing in public in "a dress not belonging to his or her sex", although similar laws existed in Columbus, Ohio passed ; Chicago, Illinois passed ; Houston, Texas passed ; Orlando, Florida passed , and approximately two dozen other US cities.

The cover image was of Lipinski performing that routine.
