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.

    I am highly sanitary, use a bidet, and do not leak. Your objection seems to be that you are offended by exposed genitals. Fair enough. Others are offended by exposed breasts.

    He said most people can't remain sanitary. I'm inclined to agree after seeing people washing their clothes in the laundromat with what looks like melted chocolate in their underwear.

    He didn't say all. You might have exemplary hygiene.

      People don't wash their hands and that is a much more hazardous vector than a bare bottom. If people wore gloves instead of pants, germ borne illness would plummet. So the hygiene argument is moot.

      Where society draws the line on nudity is completely arbitrary and cultural.
