So many people in America are afraid of the sight of a woman baring her breasts in public especially at a beach much less a topless beach.
Gotopless.org will be holding a topless protest on August 23rd.
Here's the story:
"A Fight for the Right to Bare Boobs
...In January, U.S.-based GoTopless.org organized a topless protest at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. Up until recently, nudity was illegal except on designated beaches, but local councils considered bare breasts acceptable.
However, a Christian fundamentalist politician, Rev. Fred Nile, introduced legislation in the parliament of New South Wales that would prohibit women from going topless on all beaches.
In response, topless women gathered on the Bondi Beach in protest, arguing that women's breasts are not offensive and should be considered just as natural as men's chests.
Now that battle is moving to the 'States. In eight participating citiesincluding Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, and Miamitopless women and men will gather and peacefully rally on Sunday, August 23, "to protest the gross inequality in the law and will demand that they be granted the fundamental right to be topless where men already enjoy that right...
The Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment states that "no state shall ... deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws". The GoTopless.org Movement states that this Clause defends citizens from "gender-based differential treatment."
Therefore, if a man can go topless, so can a woman.
... "The aim is to convey that the sight of a top free women [sic] in public is as natural as the sight of top free men."

I was at Baker nude Beach in SF 2 weeks ago and froze. It was 62F. Mark Twain is right. The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco :-)

I was there for the topfree protest in Rochester, NY over 20 years ago, that was heard at the NY supreme court, and it was ruled that women have the same rights to go topless where ever you might expect to find a male without a shirt, as long as lewd and sexual activity wasn't intended. It fell short of having the laws in the state of NY changed, but it did open a major door and the court ruled that authorities should not expend the effort, time, money, or clogging the courts with actions due to women going bare breasted in public.
Over 20 years later, women go topfree in NY state with very little fear of prosecution and case study has found that municipalities have lost more money in civil rights suits then they can afford because they chose to prosecute top free women.
So just show them, don't shake them....

Hi Cuddlebutton,
The reason governments are so afraid of bare breasts is most politicians are boobs. They are afraid that everytime a citizen sees a bare breast, it will remind them of the boobs that run our governments :-)

LOL! Tcotta - so very, very true!
Here in Texas, any place a man can go topless, women can too. I am surprised more women don't, maybe because no one wants to be the only one that is. There are a few beaches where it is common for women to be topless.
