200 men and women go topless in Brighton, UK for 'Free the Nipple' campaign (photos)

Hundreds of men and women have gone topless to
stage a protest on one of Britain’s most popular
beaches (Brighton) to ‘Free the Nipple’ and make
boobs more acceptable in society. The campaign's
aim is to highlight social media policies over
banning nipples. They want social media to allow
women’s nipples to be visible.
Despite the event, which held on Wednesday,
being a success the group are already planning for
another march in the upcoming campaign on
August 28.
The protesters marched from Brighton Pier to East
Sussex city seafront before stopping on the beach
where everyone sunbathed topless.
The event was organised by comedian Samantha
Pressdee, who came to Brighton with her one-
woman comedy show about nudity and sexuality.
Samantha said:
‘I’ve been a member of the Free The Nipple
campaign over the past year. I joined the
campaign to challenge the way women’s
breasts were perceived. Breasts have
been sexualised and the point of this
campaign is that they don’t have to be
sexual.’
We had a lovely time, loads of pictures
were taken.We ended up relaxing on the
beach, some people decided to go for a
swim whilst others brought out their
guitars’.
