Women Bare Breasts For Equality Across The US

There have been several campaigns for equality over the years, but the latest showed New York women baring their breasts as they walked down Broadway for GoTopless Day. This is their bid for women to have as much right as men to be bare-chested in public.

According to Fox News, the march was led by some women carrying a banner, followed by others in a convertible, and coming at the end, a pair of giant, inflatable breasts, making a statement for onlookers who gawked and took photos of the parade participants.

New York was not the only state to participate. A group of about 30 men and women also walked topless Oceanside across the country in Venice, Los Angeles. Their parade showed a giant, inflatable pink breast marked with the phrase "equal topless rights" written on it, with one participant carrying a sign that said, "My Body Is Not A Crime."

These two events are just examples of several planned for cities across the globe. The Reporter noted that gatherings are also planned in New Hampshire, Denver, and more. Nadine Gray, president of GoTopless said that by doing this, they hope that events will take away the shock of people around seeing female breasts. "This push for women to go topless in the 21st century is as strong as women wanting to vote in the 20th century. It may be sensual, but it's not illegal to be sensual," she said.

The legality of toplessness for women varies by state, although in New York, it has been legal since 1992. Kia Sinclair, and event organizer for GoTopless Day at the Hampton Beach in New Hampshire shared, "It's in hopes to show people that it can be normal, that it's really not a big deal and it's not about getting attention or protesting."
