Nipple ban rejected in New Hampshire; rampant nudity deemed unlikely
CONCORD, N.H. — The “nipple bill” that would have prohibited women from sun-bathing topless on state beaches was killed quickly by the House Wednesday.

New Hampshire lawmakers rejected a bill that would have made it illegal for women to go topless in public.
The House voted against making it a misdemeanor for women to show their breasts with “reckless disregard” for whether it would offend someone. The bill was partly a response to a “Free the Nipple” movement that led to two women being cited for going topless at a Gilford beach. A judge dismissed that case in February.

Opponents said such a ban violates the constitution by creating different standards for men and women
The bill caused the spat among lawmakers in December after a male lawmaker said if women want to show their breasts publicly, they should be OK with men wanting to “grab” them.
Bill supporters had cautioned that allowing women to go topless at beaches could lead to them also going topless at libraries and Little League games. They said they were trying to shield families and children.
Opponents said such a ban violates the constitution by creating different standards for men and women.
It added, “In a state with an average temperature of only 46 degrees, the risk of rampant nudity seems rather low.”
The bill was filed in response to the national “Free the Nipple” movement. Organizers held a topless rally at Hampton Beach in August.
