Gainesville City Commissioners Opt Against Allowing Women To Be Topless In Public

A proposal that would have made Gainesville one of the first cities in Florida to allow women to be topless in public was voted down Thursday afternoon.
The Gainesville City Commission in its General Policy Committee meeting voted against exploring the legal ramifications of removing gender from public nudity laws.
In the 3-3 vote, Mayor Lauren Poe and commissioners Reina Saco and Adrian Hayes-Santos voted in favor, while commissioners Harvey Ward, Gail Johnson and Gigi Simmons voted against the proposal. Commissioner David Arreola was absent from the meeting.
Gainesville City Commissioner Adrian Hayes-Santos is proposing that the city “de-genderize” its laws, including one that makes it illegal for women to display their breasts in public.
His proposal that would allow women to legally go topless was met with criticism from several other commissioners late last month.
But the commission voted for city staff to come back with a more in-depth report, which they plan to discuss Thursday.
Hayes-Santos said the topless issue is only one facet of the proposal. He said the city’s codes are full of wording that single out a particular sex, and it s time for that to change.
