1Opinion of the Court

LOHR, Justice.

Marco Lounge, Inc. (Marco) appeals from an order of the Adams County district court denying Marco’s motion for a preliminary injunction against the City of Federal Heights (City) to prohibit enforcement of the City’s order that Marco cease and desist from presenting live, nude entertainment in the bar which it owns and operates in the City. We conclude that the ordinance upon which the cease and desist order was based violates the guarantee of freedom of speech under the First and Fourteenth Amendments 1 and therefore • reverse the trial court’s order.
