Activists To Protest Over Equal Topless Rights

It’s all part of the 10th Annual Go Topless Day, a global protest held every August since 2007, dedicated to ensuring the right for women to go shirtless if they wish.

The event protests gender inequality where nipples are concerned, according to organizer Nadine Gary. She said it is unfair that women can be publicly shamed or arrested if they choose to go topless ― a problem men don’t face at all.

To that end, all the participants ― women and men ― will, depending on the city, either bare all or wear pasties over their nipple areas.

“In true equality, either everyone has it or no one has it,” Gary said.

Go Topless Day is organized by a group of UFO believers called the Raelians, who believe that humans were created by advanced extraterrestrial scientists known as the “Elohim.” As such, not allowing women to go topless is an insult to the aliens’ artistry.

Gary predicts that the Supreme Court will soon consider the rights of women to go topless.

She cites a ruling from June in the case of Sessions v. Morales-Santana, in which Justice Ruth Ginsburg wrote that a law which “differentiates on the basis of gender” is subject to “heightened scrutiny” and can only survive by serving “important governmental objectives.”

As a result, any classification based on sex differences “must substantially serve an important governmental interest today,” Ginsburg wrote.

There will be rallies in 40 cities around the world including Los Angeles, New York, Denver, Paris, and Seoul, Korea.
Gary and her fellow topless advocates are hoping that President Donald Trump will find this cause one that he can truly support.

“Trump hasn’t tweeted this out, but he has a beautiful First Lady and daughter and it would be nice to own up to their bodies and femininity,” she said..”
