Nudists to Supervisor Scott Wiener: Banning Naked People Is "Totally Un-San Franciscan"

A local naked person started a petition asking the Board of Supervisors to refuse any legislation that might come before them banning public nudity. Consider it a preemptive strike to Supervisor Scott Wiener's comments that he just might propose a new law prohibiting people from going au naturel in San Francisco.
Here's what the naked folks have to say about that:

Currently the City by the Bay is embroiled in a controversy about public nudity. Right now there is no law preventing public nudity in the City and County of San Francisco. Let's keep it that way!Wiener, who represents the Castro, where most of this public nudity is taking place, has tried to compromise with nudists. Initially, he said he wouldn't ban the bare-skinned, but rather drafted legislation that would, at the very least, force them to put a newspaper, or a towel, or something between their naked bum and wherever they're sitting in public.
The general acceptance of public nudity in is one of those cool only-in-San-Francisco things and we want to encourage the City Leaders and Elected Officials to resist giving in to a few anti-nudists who would like to impose a total citywide ban. That's totally un-San Franciscan! Show your support for body freedom and acceptance.
But after the cock ring patrol controversy broke out a few weeks ago, Wiener sorta crumbled, telling the Bay Area Reporter that it's just obnoxious and irresponsible for naked men to draw that kind of attention to their private parts.
It's unclear whether Wiener is actively working on legislation to ban nudists, or if the ick factor was just really high for him on that day. Regardless, if you like being naked or you just like seeing others exposed, feel free to add your John Hancock here.
