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.

    AC you replied to here. I've seen plenty of naked people and watched plenty of porn. While there is variation in people, most of us fit into the middle of the range in those sorts of measurements.

    I don't necessarily want to see people naked all the time, which is why I'm not a nudist/naturist. You see how that works?

    But we do all have the same stuff. There's skin, there's breasts (we don't call them that on men, but they are there), there are penises and testicles and vaginas and buttocks. And there are (gasp!) navels too. So yes, it's all the same stuff. And no one is forcing you to go naked.

    The point of all this is not that we should all be naked all the time. The point is that the law discussed in TFA means that women in Fort Collins, CO are no longer being discriminated against. And less discrimination and more equality is A Good Thing™
