The Raëlian movement, known for its controversial beliefs, co-sponsors a topless protest in Boston to address discrimination against women's bodies. The protest, organized in collaboration with Equalititty, seeks to encourage lawmakers to end laws regulating women's right to be topless in public. In Massachusetts, multiple bills have been introduced to allow women to go topless, reflecting a shifting societal norm, with Nantucket already permitting it on beaches. Organizers emphasize that this issue transcends sexuality and represents a fight against governmental oppression of citizens' rights.
"This is not about sexuality, it is about oppression," said Katrina Brees, founder of Equalititty and a co-organizer of the protest, in a release. "Whether it is the oppression of the female breast or where Rosa Parks has to sit on a bus, Americans must never stop fighting against oppression. Most importantly, the unconstitutional oppression perpetrated by our government upon its own citizens."
Rael, the uni-named founder of GoTopless.org and spiritual leader of the Raëlian movement, commented in the announcement that, "As long as men are allowed to be topless in public, women should have the same constitutional right. Or else, men should have to wear something to hide their chests."
