Nantucket votes to allow anyone to go topless on beaches

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.

Because they are insane.

I guarantee you can find where she’s complained about the “male gaze” before.

The attention whores will be shedding their tops and crying that no one takes them seriously. Also, do we need young girls, not women, but 10, 11, 12 year old girls running around topless while pedos film them?

It will be a spectacle for the few worth looking at and any others without self respect.

If you have to go to a nudist beach to see tits, you need to get a life. That is what the internet is for...

I’m a functional Male. I’m gonna look and admire those worth admiring. I make no apologies for this.

If this is your “thing”... Go for it. Just don’t get pissed at me for ogling.

You see, they should be free to strut around naked for the explicit purpose of getting attention but you should not be allowed to stare at or notice them which is their whole motive they get naked to start with!

It’s the equivalent of demanding the right to poke a tiger and also demanding that the tiger must not attack you.

In Nantucket they allowed on the beach,
The choice to go topless to each,
Some boobs were quite perky, while others were more like dried jerky,
And some even reached down to the beach.

There is a clothing optional beach not much more than a stone's throw from the German anti-aircraft range at Todendorf.

I was invited by a female friend, and she gently chided me for not removing my swimsuit. A few minutes later, I saw a middle aged man who was about 5'8", and he must have weighed 300 pounds.

I went full monty soon after that.
