Minneapolis Park Board: No more citations for women going topless in the parks

The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board voted Wednesday to allow anyone to go topless in the city’s parks without being ticketed.

Under city and state law, it’s legal for anyone to be topless in public. But a Minneapolis park ordinance continued to make bared “female breasts” in city parks and parkways grounds for an indecent exposure citation.

The current ordinance says that no one 10 or older “shall intentionally expose his or her own genitals, pubic area, buttocks or female breast below the top of the areola, with less than a fully opaque covering, in or upon any park or parkway.” Wednesday’s vote repealed the part related to breasts.

It's good to see that the city is looking after what is important. Now that Winter is here, though, I doubt that people will be flocking to the parks to gaze at women's breasts for at least a few months...

1. How many days is it warm enough?

7. Weather's nice here for about six months of the year.

The other six months are a bit too chilly for topless escapades in the park, though.

2. Yeah, I'm going to run right out and do that.

It's 41 degrees right now, so no problem, apart from some aesthetic issues.

5. Indeed. I'm not sure how much of an issue it was, really,

in any case. I mean, I'm glad they're equalizing the rules, but I doubt I'll ever see a topless woman in a Minneapolis park. Most women aren't that interested in going topless in public, I'm sure.

Besides, I have seen women's breasts before. So, I'm not aching for the opportunity to see them in a park.
