San Francisco mulls public nudity ban November 19, 2012 - 10:33 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - San Francisco may be getting ready to shed its image as a city where anything goes, including clothing, Belfast Telegraph said. City politicians are scheduled to vote tomorrow, November 20 on an ordinance that would prohibit nudity in most public places. The ban represents an escalation of a two-year fight between a devoted group of nudists in the city's famously gay Castro District and the supervisor who represents the area. Supervisor Scott Weiner's proposal would make it illegal for persons over the age of five to expose their genitals. Exemptions would be made for participants at permitted street fairs and parades. Mr Weiner says he resisted a ban, but felt compelled to act after constituents complained about the naked men. The ban has sparked nude protests and a lawsuit.
