PORTLAND, Maine—About two dozen women drew a crowd of onlookers when they took off their tops and marched down a downtown street in Portland, Maine, to promote what they call equal-opportunity public toplessness.
Organizer Ty MacDowell said the point of Saturday's march was that a topless woman out in public shouldn't attract any more attention than a man who walks around without a shirt.
According to the Portland Press Herald, by the time the group reached the end of the march there were more than 500 people -- a mix of marchers, young men snapping photos, oglers and people just out enjoying a sunny, warm day.
It's not illegal for a woman to be topless in public in Maine, and police said there were no incidents or arrests.
