Today is National Topless Day and across the country, women and men took to the streets to protest everyone's right to go shirtless in public. Mayor of New York City Bill de Blasiohas conceded that baring one's chest in public, regardless of gender, is a "First Amendment protection," although he prefaced that by saying "It makes no sense, but." "But" indeed, Mr. de Blasio. Not your or anyone else's respectability politics will stop these paradegoers from celebrating boobs. Check out photos of the Manhattan Nipple Pride Parade over at Mic.
