FORT COLLINS, Colo. — A Colorado city plans to appeal a federal judge's decision to temporarily halt enforcement of its ban on women going topless.
The Coloradoan reports (Fort Collins fights to keep topless ban) attorneys for the city of Fort Collins notified a federal appeals court Tuesday of their intent to challenge a preliminary injunction blocking a section of the city's public nudity law.
In granting the injunction last month, the judge said he would likely find the city ordinance that makes it a crime for women but not men to show their nipples unconstitutional.
The Fort Collins City Council voted to keep the law in 2015, rejecting a growing movement to remove gender-specific indecency codes. Two women then sued to challenge the law.
The city has argued the ordinance is needed to maintain public order and protect children.
