Two dozen women march topless in Maine
Associated Press
PORTLAND, Maine — About two dozen women drew a crowd of onlookers when they shed their shirts and marched downtown in Maine's largest city to promote what they call equal-opportunity public toplessness.
Organizer Ty MacDowell said the point of Saturday's march in Portland was that a topless woman out in public shouldn't attract any more attention than a man who walks around without a shirt.
The Portland Press Herald reports that by the end of the march, more than 500 people had amassed — a mix of marchers, young men snapping photos, oglers and people just out enjoying a sunny, warm day.
It's not illegal for a woman to be topless in public in Maine, and police said there were no incidents or arrests.
It's not illegal for women to be topless in Maine? How come nobody told me about this? My immediate reaction when I saw this story was to con my parents out of a small nestegg and head to Portland with my camera. But luckily the story offered a link to photos of the march (No actual boobs in the photos.) Upon further reflection I think I'm going to stay put. If these are the types of boobs I've being offered to see in liberal Maine I think I'm better off staying in the sexual repressed bible belt. Cover up ladies. Noone wants to see that.
