Naked Protesters Disrupt Final Vote To Uphold San Francisco Nudity Ban
[San Francisco.CBSLocal] A ban on nudity in San Francisco was given final approval by the city's Board of Supervisors Tuesday in a raucous meeting at which several people stripped naked in board chambers.The ordinance, which will prohibit nudity on city streets, sidewalks, plazas and other public spaces, was initially passed 6-5 during the board's Nov. 20 meeting and was approved again Tuesday afternoon by the same vote. Supervisor Jane Kim initially gave the legislation a seventh vote of support but later rescinded her vote, saying she had been distracted and accidentally voted yes. Supervisors John Avalos, David Campos, Eric Mar and Christina Olague were the other four supervisors to oppose the ban. Several men and women stripped down after the first vote Tuesday afternoon and began yelling at the supervisors. They were led out of board chambers by sheriff's deputies, who draped blankets over them since public nudity is not allowed at City Hall. Posted by: Fred 2012-12-06 |
