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.

  Until they start getting to boobs age, most folks and laws don't care. Culturally, most parents tend to start buying them boob-covering swimsuits as soon as they start buying them swimsuits but they don't get bent out of shape too badly if they randomly run around in their underwear until about ten or so.
