SAN FRANCISCO — After Feb. 1, San Franciscans will have to get dressed before leaving home.
On Nov. 20, in a 6-to-5 vote, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors approved a ban on public nudity, The New York Times reported, but some wonder if it’s enough.
Randy Thomasson, president of
SaveCalifornia.com, said the ordinance is a start but that it still
allows open nudity, demonstrations of sadomasochism, and other such
practices at city events such as the annual lesbian, gay, bisexual, and
transgender (LGBT) pride parade and the Folsom Street Fair. The ban also
doesn’t include women who choose to go topless.
“Female public nudity is dangerous
to women and girls because it portrays them as sex objects and
stimulates potential rapists,” said Thomasson. As for male nudists in
San Francisco, Thomasson said they behave “like animals, dehumanizing
themselves. They see themselves only as flesh, not spirit.”
