"Free your boobies, free your mind!"  Put the 'tit' back in 'Constitutional!' "Nobody likes tan lines!"

These were just some of the rallying cries that united the "Go Topless Day" protestors at the Venice Boardwalk yesterday afternoon. March leader James Rich weaved the chants in between Bob Marley ("Get Up, Stand Up") and Beatles ("All You Need Is Love") songs, while the topless women beside him held signs and cheered for the cause.

The group was protesting California's unequal topless laws for men and women. While men are allowed to be completely shirtless where it's appropriate (i.e. the beach and the pool), women cannot expose their breasts and nipples (except at adult entertainment establishments) unless they want to be arrested for indecent exposure. The march coincided with other protests nationwide on the same day.
