NANTUCKET, Mass. (AP) — Nantucket is a step closer to allowing anyone who chooses regardless of gender to go topless on the Massachusetts resort island’s beaches.
The Gender Equality on Beaches bylaw amendment passed 327-242 at Tuesday night’s annual town meeting, according to published reports. The measure is not a done deal. It still requires approval from the state attorney general’s office.
The bylaw was proposed by seventh-generation Nantucket resident Dorothy Stover and reads in part: “In order to promote equality for all persons, any person shall be allowed to be topless on any public or private beach” in town.
Under state law, only men can go topless in public.
Stover told WBUR that she knows some people who are against the measure, but the overwhelming reaction has been positive. Her hope is to normalize bodies of all shapes and sizes and foster an environment of acceptance, she said.

Regardless of age?
A 2 Mask requirement is said to be under discussion. //
Have you noticed the cranky lady giving you crap at the supermarket is never gorgeous?
Thiscouldbet ugly..literally.
Same goes for the men. Unless you are a well-conditioned athlete, you should probably cover up as well. Nobody likes looking at hairy pot bellies.
I'm a guy and I never go topless at the beach unless I'm actually in the water. As soon as I'm out, I put a T-shirt or something back on.
Nobody needs to see my flabby abs. Although I do plenty of 12-ounce curls once I'm back in my beach chair! Maybe if I did more of them, my abs would look better. I'll have to bring a bigger cooler to the beach.
One bit of good news, Thereeeezaa sold the Kerry home there in 2018. https://realestate.boston.com/buying/2018/04/13/john-kerrys-nantucket-estate-just-sold-17-5-million/
This could get ugly..literally.
One way to stimulate “flagging” business.
That’s absolutely true. When I was at Domino’s I occasionally delivered to naked people. It was always in a motel, and it was always people you didn’t want to see that way.
so posting pictures of topless women would be an act of civil rights advocacy?
Asking for a friend. Content moderators?
I’ll have to keep abreast of this.
Let’s see Michelle Obama go bottomless…
I dare ya
Will this help a sagging tourism industry?
They’re hope is for yet another way to expose kids to sexual deviancy.
Worse, “There was a trans-man from Nantucket...”
Seriously, I wonder if they think the type of visitors they’ll get will be worth the vacationing families they’ll lose.
ROAD TRIP!*
DANG!
*Bet the women who go topless will be the ones you don’t want to go topless.
So if some Christian group had a private beach, they wouldn't be allowed to keep topless women out?

Hmmmm? Famous cnn celeb dawn lemmon topless? Oh, wait. Is he, uh, I mean are they, the pitcher or the receiver? Will that determine which one goes topless?
