Much respect to those who have no shame in going topless! I've never done it unless it was in private, or in my own home. Perhaps someday I'll get the nerve.

MWMF topless here the first time I went, it was great, younger days at Columbus Pride when the kids did not attend. I would do it more if people weren't so uptight.

This is fascinating, and I was completely unaware. Thank you so much for sharing. My kids, at a young age, were raised to understand that bodies were only skin. It wasn't until circumstance caused us to live with others that they became ashamed of their bodies. It makes me proud that there are people who understand that by making children (and people) comfortable with their bodies we empower them.

It's also technically legal to walk around completely naked in Toronto, since public nudity laws only apply if there's a sexual nature to it (being naked is not considered sexual). I actually saw a naked dude walking down the street right past a police cruiser once without the cops doing more than laugh. And of course lots of people whistling at him, lol.

Also, they forgot Europe (and other places I'm sure). While some European countries have topless laws/nudity laws, they aren't taken very seriously and women are typically allowed to be topless where men are. In Munich in the English Garden (massive park in the middle of the city where there's a biergarten, jogging paths, historical/tourist sites etc.) there's always tons of people sunbathing/walking around naked. And also pretty much anywhere where there's a body of water.

I don't see anything wrong with it. The idea that the human body is "inappropriate" is, to me, silly. I also think that everyone should be allowed to wear what they'd like/nothing at all if one group is permitted to. Generally, I take no issue with topless or naked people, no matter their sex.

At San Francisco Gay Pride one year, I saw a preppie looking guy approach a cop and ask if he was allowed to carry his cup of beer down toward the pier. The cop deadpanned, "Son, there are people down there with nothing on but gold paint. I don't think anyone is going to notice your beer."
