The owner of a strip club that operates in Las Vegas has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Small Business Administration after not receiving money from the $2 trillion federal coronavirus aid bill.

Little Darlings owner Jason Mohney says he has struggled obtaining emergency funding after Congress grouped the business into the category of operations of a prurient sexual nature.

Mohney argues the exclusion is discriminatory toward a class of workers who perform a legal and legitimate service. The Flint, Michigan-based company operates 200 exotic dance clubs in several states.
