Canadian City Allows Topless Swimming at Public Pools

 

City run pools in Edmonton, Alberta will now allow topless swimming for all patrons over the age of 18 or minors with a parent regardless of gender. The city said they are doing this to be more inclusive and while the city recognizes this may make some of its patrons uncomfortable, it does not want to violate anyone's human right to swim topless. 

Linda Meyer swam topless here in BC and even challenged the Supreme Court for her right to do so. When asked about how others might feel seeing a nipple she replied:

"If I'm in the hot tub, I'm not picking up any men. The sky isn't falling. We're all not going to be vaporized because my nipple is exposed," she says.

Meyer says her fight is about nipples - which men have, too, she notes.

"This is all about the men," Meyer says. "If they can't control themselves because they see a nipple, why is that my fault? Go take a cold shower or think about your income taxes."

What do you think? Should ALL city pools allow topless swimming? 

Do you think topless swimming should just remain at lakes/beaches instead?
