A Canadian radio host and newspaper columnist took off her top
during an interview with her local mayor this week and continued asking
him questions bare-chested.
Lori Welbourne, who hosts the radio show On The Rocks and writes a
column for the Province newspaper, was talking to Walter Gray, mayor of
Kelowna in British Columbia, about whether it was legal in the town for
women to bare their br**sts in public.
‘What if I went walking down the street unclad?’ she asked in the recorded interview.
But before Gray could answer her question, Welbourne handed him her
microphone and undid the strap on her dress, exposing her br**sts.
‘What are you doing,’ he asked, to which she replied, ‘it’s really hot in here.’
After regaining his composure, Gray explained that while someone may
be tempted to call the police there is little authorities could do
because it is in fact entirely legal for a woman to be unclad anywhere a
man can be.
Welbourne’s stunt was in anticipation of Sunday’s Go unclad Day.
Public uncladness is not illegal anywhere in Canada unless it’s
deemed to be indecent. It is also legal for women in a range of American
states though plenty still outlaw.
‘So I can go unclad here in Kelowna?’ Welbourne went on.
‘Well, evidently,’ Gray said. ‘I’m not suggesting you should do that
but I don’t think you’d be committing any crime or breaking any bylaw.’
Groups of women turned out shirtless in cities including New York on
August 25 to celebrate a women’s right to bare her br**sts in public.
The annual event was started in 2007.
Welbourne went on to ask the mayor whether he was aware we are all
unclad under our clothes and whether he had any piercing and he replied
in good humor
