Its probably two of the first things they remember seeing anyway.

Re: Topless Sunbathing Ban
I'd like to be against all (well those under 65) women sunbathing topless. But I'd settle for just being nearby.

[QUOTE]
Ok.... here's where it's going to get polemic!!!! I have voted in favour by the way of keeping topless absolutely fine. What I object to - and yes feel free to hurl insults my direction - is that in places like Sitges where families holiday side by side with the homosexual community, I find myself in agreement with the quote from JDR's comment.
I like Sitges. I have no problem with gay couples expressing their affectioin in public. But there's a limit. Walking down public boulevards in G-Strings whilst the partners have each others hands tucked inside DOES create a problem for families who have yet to be taught such things by their family.
Whether we like it or not we live in a predominantly hetrosexual society so this is considered the norm - there has to be some degree of responsibility. Forgetting the awful 18-30 type sex resorts that unfortunately exist, hetrosexual couple engaging in similar public displays as I have seen in many parts of Spain where gay couples have carried on would not be deemed as acceptable behaviour.
Whilst I believe in the freedom of choice, it has to be understood that not all choices conform to the publically accepted norm. I like to drink loads of beer in bars. I get drunk. Yet I know when I have to stop what I'm doing because I've passed the accepted line. (Ok - not always but the intention is there )
For this reason I believe the woman has a point in what she says but about toplessness, she probably is wrong as children are used to topless women. It comes from breastfeeding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
