San Francisco nudity ban [PHOTOS/VIDEO], Nudists filed a federal suit against San Francisco on Wednesday, arguing that a
proposed ban on public nakedness violates their civil rights.
The
proposed ordinance would prohibit nudity on city streets, sidewalks, plazas and
public transit. It exempts street fairs and parades, which would require
permits.
The lawsuit claims the ban "would violate the civil rights of
people who want to bare their bodies for personal or political reasons," the
Associated Press writes.
Citing a sizable and inappropriate rise in
public nudity in San Francisco's Castro district, Supervisor Scott Wiener
introduced legislation earlier in the month to expand restrictions on what he
described as an “ad hoc nudist colony” cavorting around The City’s streets and
plazas. Go here for more including photos and video.
