San Francisco Nudists Say A Nudity Ban Would Just Make Them Get Naked Even More
Business Insider ^ | 11/20/2012 | Eoin Reynolds, The Guardian

San Francisco nudists said on Monday they would continue to walk the streets naked regardless of a proposed law that would order them to cover up.

City authorities are meeting on Tuesday to decide on a new anti-nudity law that is being supported by residents and business owners in the city's Castro district. The law would make it an offence for anyone over the age of five to "expose his or her genitals, perineum or anal region on any public street, sidewalk, street median, parklet or plaza".

Lloyd Fishbach, left, who was standing naked at the corner of Castro and Market, said it should be his choice to dress as he wants, where he wants.

"There is always someone who is not going to like what you are doing," he said. "I live in the Castro and I've been doing this since first grade. This is just a bunch of uptight Americans. But I'll still keep doing it and if I see the cops coming I will run and hide."

Natalie Mandeau and her friend Dany, pictured below, said they travelled from Berlin when they heard of the proposed ban on nudity in San Francisco.

You just can’t make this stuff up. From the article:

Dany said: “If America bans this it would be a shame. San Francisco is one of the only places in the world where you can experience real American freedom.”

Castro resident George Davis added that there would be a backlash against the law and warned that Scott Wiener, the area representative who proposed the ban, will face strong opposition at the next election in 2013.

He added: “I told him that if this passes I will run against him and I will do it in the nude.”

Adam answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”

And God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
(Genesis 3:10-11)

And this is what you get when you try to “compromise” with the left. You get a temper tantrum.

The city could allow “open season” on nudists for those with paintball guns that are loaded with bright green, blue and red leather dye.

They can get naked all they want, once they are in the county jail.

The problem is that most of the people who get naked in public are way to ugly for outside viewing.

Apparently they have learned how to “double down” from der leader.

Just arrest em when they break the law and put em “as is” in an unenviromentally controlled jail cell. I’ve been to Frisco, it does get cold there.

Interesting what you say. This morning on the news, they had video of a naked man walking down the street. Coming towards him was a young woman with the saddest expression. It’s so obvious that she’s deeply uncomfortable and unhappy. More proof of my theory that gay male activists loathe women.
