Encourage the City of Houston to remove or amend a sex discrimination ordinance in the Municipal code. Chapter 28-18.

Created by A.C. on April 09, 2013

Houston Municipal Code Chapter 28-18
"It shall be unlawful for any person to appear on any public street, sidewalk, alley, or other public thoroughfare, in or such close proximity thereto, as to be observed by the public traveling on such street, sidewalk, or other public thoroughfare, in a state of complete nudity, or in such a manner of dress or of undress in a manner which exposes to the public view such person's genitalia and/or buttocks, and in the case of a female, the female breasts."

The Municipal code above singularly discriminates females from leaving their breasts uncovered in public and does not provide equal protection under the law for females to do so.

We ask the Obama administration to encourage an Amendment to the code removing gender based discrimination.
