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.

    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.
