Attention Minneapolis residents!
You’ve no doubt seen the direction the city is going in. And you've seen our steadfast campaign opposing so-called "Drag Queen Story Hour," which is a threat to children.
Now, there's another threat on the horizon.
Currently, Minneapolis Park Board ordinance PB2-21 states no one 10 years or older is allowed to expose their genitals, pubic area, buttocks or female breast below the top of the areola in a park or parkway, whether or not children are present.
But members of the Minneapolis Park Board are holding a hearing tomorrow (agenda here) to make public female nudity legal in Minneapolis parks and parkways under any and all circumstances.
Parks are, of course, a great resource for families with children. But many families are justifiably opposed to displays of female nudity in front of their young sons and daughters. The park board is continuing the trick that we've seen for several decades, but which is now accelerating: erasing the real differences between men and women.
So please, if you can voice your opposition to allowing "female breasts" to be openly displayed in Minneapolis's parks before the hearing tomorrow, please do so. Here are instructions for making comments that can be read aloud at the socially-distanced meeting:
To submit Open Time comments to commissioners, email addresses are available in the “contact” section for each commissioner at www.minneapolisparks.org/commissioners. If an individual submitting Open Time comments via email would like those comments to be read during Open Time, a copy of the comments should be sent to the Secretary to the Board at Opentime@minneapolisparks.org before 12:00 noon on the day of the meeting. Comments submitted should be limited to approximately 200 words, which is similar to two minutes when read out loud.
Minneapolis residents, make your voice heard. Let's keep public nudity OUT of Minneapolis parks! Note that your comment MUST be submitted before 12 PM tomorrow to be read during the meeting.
