Seattle (and Portland) has a long tradition of nude bicyclists at demonstrations and parades. The nude bike riders in the Freemont Parade are widely renouwned and perhaps one of the most featured attractions in that celebration. Apparently, Portland has an annual event at which 1200+ nude bicyclists participate.

So....the parks department is mulling over a proposed ban on nudity in public parks. A hearing is scheduled at which there is expected to be very good attendance. I believe clothes are required at the hearing but you never know......

So, when was the last time you guys had a public nudity ban hearing?

Is nudity obscene? I mean.....lewdness is of course obscene, but is nudity automatically offensive or obscene? I mean.....as long as it's not Byron. Of course.
Let's make a deal. You don't work to ban my semi-auto rifles, and I won't work to ban your nude, whatever.

Just don't expect me to attend, and I won't expect you to come to the range...
