Liberal lunacy: San Francisco to force naked residents to keep a towel handy. When I told Mrs Editor about this story she said, “Well, at least they’re required to wear a towel.” “No,” I replied, “they can walk around naked. The law says they have to put a towel under themselves when they sit down in public.” I can’t tell you what Mrs Editor said then.

Here in my state if a man is busted taking a leak in the woods or along side a road he can be charged with criminal sexual assault. Even if he thinks he's alone and out if view.
So how is it that in pelosi's hometown guys can walk around with their units swinging and it's not a crime.
Forcing another person to view yer junk is sexual assault- plain and simple.
Because, that's the only way Nancy ever gets to see any meat.
OK San Fran let me get this straight, nude gay dudes in public are awesome, women dressed up as 1960's Playboy Bunnies on TV must be banned?
While you are there check out some of the other resolutions. These people have way too much time on their hands.
Doesn't it take some balls to stroll around naked in San Fran?
If you drop something, just kick it to San Jose before you pick it up.
Damn you made me laugh so hard I spit out my coffee....
Glad to be of service.
"City officials have, for the most part, kept hands off the naked guys, not wanting to offend those who embrace an anything-goes culture of tolerance that has made San Francisco famous. "
Hooray for TOLERANCE! Dont offend the streaker, just the public in general.
We are in a bit of trouble when the minority opinion rules out the majority opinion, and then form laws based on those same principles.
Next up for vote in city council? Allocating funds to help the poor purchase and launder towels so they can be in compliance with the ordinance forcing them to carry a towel.
They should be carrying some lead
Let these gays do as they please, but stop all money for aids medicine and research
I don't think this is a gay issue. I think it's a wacko issue.
Exactly. They're straight, but they tend to confine themselves to a small "parklet" area right off Market Street in the Castro.
Interestingly, a lot of commenters on the SFGate website are Castro residents, both gay and straight, and are not happy about this. They feel as if their neighborhood is taking a beating from a PR standpoint, and that in the name of common decency it's just over the top.
We have to remember that San Francisco is Nancy Pelosi's home turf.
''Crack down on towel'' sounds like instructions.
