San Francisco May Pass Public Nudity Restrictions
Nudists in San Francisco might soon lose the freedom to bare it all - at least some of the time.
Walking around naked is legal, but a city supervisor concerned about public health and sanitation introduced legislation Tuesday that would require nudists to put something under their bottoms if they take a seat in public.
Supervisor Scott Wiener's proposal would also require nudists to cover up when they are in a restaurant.
Wiener represents the city's Castro District, where a group of nudists is known to gather and walk around. He tells the San Francisco Chronicle he only wants to require that nudists show basic courtesy and decency to their fellow citizens, not open up a debate on the appropriateness of public nudity.
