Colorado city ends topless ban after spending $300G defending it in court

Excerpt:  Fort Collins, Colo. formally removed a public ordinance that banned women from going topless in public in a win for the ‘Free the Nipple’ movement. (...) The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in February that the law discriminated against women, writing it reinforced “negative stereotypes depicting women’s breasts, but not men’s breasts, as sex objects.” The court rejected the idea that removing the ban would lead to women "parading in front of elementary schools or swimming topless in the public pool,” according to NBC. The 10th Circuit acknowledged they’re in the minority as most states have rejected such legal challenges. The Colorado ruling makes female toplessness legal in six states, including Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah and Wyoming. [Surely a clear cut case of sexual discrimination, since no more than a few percent of people think of men’s nipples as being erotic. I agree few are likely to “parade around schools topless,” but suspect that topless swimming will likely occur. Gee, I understand it’s about a 32 hour drive from here to Colorado. Hey, just thinking out loud. Wipe off that grin, dirty mind. Ron P.]
