Public nudity ban eyed in fed-up San Francisco

SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco may be getting ready to shed its image as a city where anything goes, including clothing.

City lawmakers are scheduled to vote Tuesday on an ordinance that would prohibit nudity in most public places, a blanket ban that represents an escalation of a two-year tiff between a devoted group of men who strut their stuff through the city's famously gay Castro District and the supervisor who represents the area.

Supervisor Scott Wiener's proposal would make it illegal for a person over the age of 5 to "expose his or her genitals, perineum or anal region on any public street, sidewalk, street median, parklet or plaza" or while using public transit.

A first offense would carry a maximum penalty of a $100 fine, but prosecutors would have authority to charge a third violation as a misdemeanor punishable by up to a $500 fine and a year in jail. Exemptions would be made for participants at permitted street fairs and parades, such as the city's annual gay pride event and the Folsom Street Fair, which celebrates sadomasochism and other sexual subcultures.

If you aren’t yet disgusted by these sanfran perverts, google Folsom Street Festival to see the pictures of what the “good people” in sanfran allow in public. Truly, demented, lost souls.

It’s illegal to wave you schlong around kids, except on the days of this thing called a PARADE!

Actually, they are only banning OLD HIPPIES. It’s rather amusing. The old hippies are now visual pollution. If they were still young and hot, there would be no need for the ordinance. I think the old hippies should sue for age descrimination since other displays of public nudity are allowed. /s

I’m sorry but ‘over the age of 5’? Excuse me but I don’t think ANY age should be doing that.

Ping! Note name of supervisor trying to pass the ban. The jokes just write themselves.

Given that "Stretch" Pelosi lives there, I'd say this bill was a rational, pre-emptive attempt at self-defense. ;)

There are no good people of San Francisco

You must have gone to charm school.

Tell that to these people:

That is the annual Walk for Life held in San Francisco. Tens of thousands participate. Think of the heat they take every day in a region like that, fighting for what is right. I'd bet you have no idea how tough that can get where the hiring companies are so PC. If you had half the guts they do, you'd apologize to the good people of San Francisco. They exist.

Ever notice how all these naked types always wear shoes? Why? TO PROTECT THEIR FEET! That’s what clothes are for too. You never see these people in mid-winter. They’re just trying to hide their perversion under the banner of “Free Expression”.
