Summary
The U.S. District Court Judge R. Brooke Jackson granted an injunction halting a Fort Collins ordinance that prohibited women from showing their breasts in public, stating that it discriminates against women. The judge ruled that the ordinance perpetuates gender stereotypes and is likely to violate the Equal Protection Clause, allowing women to show their breasts in public.
