Topless in Asheville

The women from Gotopless.org decided that men shouldn’t be the only ones allowed to strut their bare chests and have all the fun.  So they staged a nationwide demonstration a few years ago for the right to go topless….and their bosom buddies from Asheville, North Carolina were right there joining the protest and proudly baring their breasts.  “It isn’t against the law in North Carolina for women to walk around topless since the law only bans indecent exposure from the waist down,” said Wally Welch, a spokesperson for the Asheville police.

Livienne Love (really???? Livienne Love???), the local protest organizer was quoted as saying, “We just want to raise awareness about this inequality”.

The event planning committee, however, didn’t take into account that the Gateway Christian Community Church would be holding their Sunday services at the same time the topless demonstration was to take place.  “They’ll be some distance apart,” said Jon Fillman, the city’s outdoor special events coordinator.  And a spokesperson from the church added that if necessary, “they’ll completely turn their event so they’re facing the other direction.”

Wouldn’t it be a hooter (pun intended) if the Bible reading today was from Psalms 119…”Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things…”  And, if it wasn’t, you can bet your sweet cupcakes those Christian men were on their knees praying it!!
