"Naked Lady" wants to go topless in Ashland parade; officials object

The city opted to regulate it in a decision by requiring a police-issued parade permit for such displays of public nudity. Indeed, repeat offenders were criminalized. This decision received some national press coverage. There is a rarely enforced anti-nudity civil ordinance in the parks of San Francisco, including Golden Gate Park. This was put in place in in response to hippies dancing nude in a circle every Sunday in Speedway Meadow in Golden Gate Park.
