Very NSFW! Today, ladies and gentlemen from across the city bared all from the waist up to fight for equality for being topless in public. "National Go Topless Day" attracted women of all ages with signs like "Tits: Wholesome, Holy & Hot," a guy offering free hugs, and of course plenty of gawkers. Thanks to a 1992 ruling, it's perfectly legal for a woman to bare her breasts any day of the year in New York.
