San Francisco lawmakers disappointed committed nudists on Tuesday by narrowly approving a ban on public nakedness despite concerns the measure would undermine the city’s reputation as a sanctuary for free expression.
The Board of Supervisors voted 6-5 in favor of a public safety ordinance that prohibits exposed genitals in most public places, including streets, sidewalks and public transit. The law still must pass a final vote and secure Mayor Edwin Lee’s signature to take effect early next year.
Supervisor Scott Wiener introduced the ban in response to escalating complaints about a group of men whose bare bodies are on display almost daily in the city’s predominantly gay Castro District.
Firs up “Scott Wiener” is against public nudity! LOL!
Also this should really spoil the fun at the Folsom Street Fair (NSFW)
Don’t worry. There is still a “parade loophole”.
dude, most of those people who want to wander around sans apparel are Not the sorts one wants to look at. think of it as a public service.
Oh yeah, that’s always how it works.
I remember my Dad telling me about how Mom and him went to a Caribbean island on a cruise, and they ended up walking on a nude beach. It was in the morning so the place was mostly deserted, and the few people they did see were, like them, clothed. Then just as they were heading back one woman who was TOTALLY nude walked by…Dad said she had to have been almost 80.
LOL!
I worked with a guy who used to go to Swinger parties, let’s just say nobody is looking to cast him in a Porno…and from what I heard, none of the people he met at the parties either. Seems “Overweight” and “Past Their Prime” were two common traits there.
