Colorado city officials have removed a topless ban from city law that inspired a Free the Nipple lawsuit.
The Coloradoan reported that Fort Collins City Council agreed Tuesday to remove language in the public nudity code that barred women and girls over age 10 from exposing their breasts in public.
City officials say the ban is expected to be removed Sept. 17.
Officials say a district court judge and a federal appeals court have ruled against the policy in the past two years.

The __MUCH__ more interesting aspect of this is that it's a circuit court decision. The same circuit court oversees Utah, and so by this ruling it's now case law that genders shall not have differing laws on nudity in Utah.
That means that Because Fort Collins, it's now case law that women shall be allowed to go topless in Utah.
Women, legally topless in Utah.
Of all the things I never expected to see, that is very near the most unlikely. I rather suspect that Utah will shortly outlaw male toplessness in Utah. I expect that they will ignore this ruling and continue to arrest/charge any women who expose their tops in Utah. I very much expect that they will arrest and detain any such women, and if the women fight any such charges, then drop the charges quickly -- just so they can have gotten them out of public, topless.
Utah. .....

Utah can bring it up to the Supreme Court, hit them with a public disturbance charge, outlaw male toplessness, or do nothing and rely on social ostracization to do the job.
