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.

Males used to lose themseoves over a little ankle. Now we're arguing over breasts. If breasts are commonly seen, they will lose a lot of their sexual status. Most sexual arosual is in the mind and once the exotic nature of something becomes common place, it becomes just that: normal and thus unintereesting. Don't believe me? Then how did so many people in China start creaming their pants over crushed and infected feet where as no where else in the world did the same? Sexual excitment is mainly cultural and only takes a generation to change.
The reason it's legal to prevent females from being topless is because the nipple is concsidered a sexual 'organ' in females but not in males. Sounds stupid to me, but that's their argument. It's illegal to expose your sexual organs in public.
Putting yourself in risky situations is your fault. Sure the world should be perfect, but it's not and pretending it is means you'll find out much faster than most people. You'd let your kids run around in the street because cars are supposed to stop for them right? That's the same as walking around naked in a dangrious area of town or getting passed out drunk at a party. There's just some things you shouldn't do. Of course the agressor has most of the fault, but you share in some of it if a couple common sense things you refused to do would have avoided the issue completely. It's not your fault that the power went out during storm and your basement floods, but it is your fault for not having a battery-backup pump. You can whine all you want to the power company or the weather, but the only worth while thing you can do is get a better pump. So stop drinking enough to pass out.
