The annual Go-Topless Day

About 20 topless women protested in a New York City park on a hot, on Sunday August 21. The purported cause: Gender equality. The topless march, led by a smooth-talking  boardwalk with slogans like "Everybody say 'Equal Rights for Women and Men!' and "Free those boobies and Free Your Mind!" among others. Women sported rubber nipple covers and men, with support theme wore bikini-tops festooned with political buttons. There were topless men in the park, too, but nobody paid them much attention. But a topless woman? The topless women drew crowds of onlookers who took pictures and video with their cell phones. ,

The annual Go-Topless Day was established in 2007 by a former sports car journalist called Rael, who founded a religion called the Raelian Movement.  'We say there is nothing wrong with the female nipple,' Karen Heaven, an organizer of the event, told the crowd that quickly formed around her in Manhattan's Bryant Park. She was wearing white pants and not much else besides a purse over her shoulder. "My dog has six, I have two, but I can be put in jail for showing my nipples. It's 2012 -- what are we thinking?"
