Moira Johnston Goes Topless in N.Y.C. to Raise Awareness of the Right to a Bare Chest is the title of an article at The Daily Beast.

I didn't realize that in New York City, it is legal for a female to appear bare chested anywhere a a male can do so. But, it is. It’s been legal for a woman to go topless in public since the 1992 case of People v. Ramona Santorelli and Mary Lou Schloss.

 In 2005, Jill Coccaro was arrested for hanging loose on Delancey Street in New York City, but sued the city and received a $29,000 settlement.

It's hard to believe how downright stupid some people seem to be, especially elected officials, and how foolish they sound when speaking aloud, even on radio or television programs.

For example:

Tennessee State Senator Stacey Campfield claims that it is nearly impossible for someone to contract AIDS through heterosexual contact.

“Most people realize that AIDS came from the homosexual community,” he told Michelangelo Signorile, who hosts a radio program on SiriusXM OutQ. “It was one guy screwing a monkey, if I recall correctly, and then having sex with men. It was an airline pilot, if I recall.”
