Summary

The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court's injunction preventing Fort Collins from enforcing a nudity ban that allows men to go topless but prohibits women from doing the same. The court concluded that the ordinance is likely unconstitutional and that the city's concerns about public order could be addressed in other ways.
