The law will go into effect once proper signs and notices are in place

Nantucket has approved a bylaw amendment that will allow people to go topless on beaches regardless of gender.

"In order to promote equality for all persons, any person shall be allowed to be topless on any public or private beach within the Town of Nantucket," the new amendment to the Protection of Coastal Areas and Open Spaces bylaw states.

Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey approved the bylaw on Tuesday, but it will only go into effect once the town meets appropriate posting and publishing requirements, according to Boston’s regional website.

The town back in May passed the bylaw with 327 votes in support against 242 votes against – a fraction of the roughly 11,000-person population of the town. The Town Board noted that it received "numerous communications from citizens raising various challenges."

I want to see the what the warning notices say. This is New England and I don't think we are expecting a bevy of California beech babes.

This is not a good idea. Regardless, someone please notify me when the Swedish bikini team visits Nantucket.

This is probably a preemptive measure to ward off the growing shark population since most of the women on Nantucket look like Hillary.

Pretty sad the way the left keeps going after the public areas usually occupied by families.

If they stayed in their closets or at least in their crappy gay bars, I could honestly care less what twisted crap they do. But they keep trying to come into OUR spaces and infest them with their insanity.

Knowing New England as I do I can guarantee that they'll weigh 400 pounds and have crew cuts.

Why is it that the only people who want to run around naked are never the type of people you would want to see run around naked?....................

They actually voted down keeping the toplessness to only a few beaches.

So now men are allowed to wear floss like thongs, for equality?

In my experience, having been around the world and it’s beaches... 98% of the topless you wish we topped.

Great, no police and let people go naked for all I care. But, when they get raped or touched inappropriately it is on them. No police. No “incident reports”. People want to be animals then do it. People abuse all privileges. Just do not complain to be if something bad happens. NOBODY CARES.

In my mind I see swimsuit models.
In reality it will be Trigglypuffs.
