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."

Borrowing part of your second line:
There once was a girl from Nantucket
who went topless and thought guys would love it
but her boobs were so long
they would drag on the ground
so she carried them ‘round in a bucket.

The green colored states are those where top freedom is in effect.
The orange colored ones have amibiguous state laws on the matter.
The red colored ones are the ones where the mere showing of the female breast in public is illegal according to state law. In the USA, though the majority of states are top-free, some cities in those states have passed (unconstitutional) ordinances that annul the state's top free statute.

Frankly I don’t want to see anything be naked in public. It’s immoral. But I wouldn’t want to see those pretending to be something they are not if I didn’t care about the morality!

For the love of....!
Posting this ONCE was enough, but no!, you had to post it twice!
Now I'm blind and have absolutely no desire for sex...probably for ten years or so.
I had truthfully forgotten just how nasty that pig was/is.
Kinda makes me feel sorry for Billy boy.
Nah..., he made his bed.

I agree. When I was in Martinique about forty years ago I saw eighty year old women topless on the beach. It was not sexy.
To: Red Badger
The uninitiated hear "nude beach" and think it would be awesome but if they foolishly decide to go, they end up scarred for life.
It really makes one wonder who could go back.

Having lived overseas the US is one of the few places that you don’t see topless women at the beach. Believe me, it ain’t the hot young women crowding the beaches topless.
