San Francisco’s ‘buff stop’ controversy

Caroline Que, Y! Local editor

The debate over San Franciscans' right to show their privates in public has been, ahem, well-covered as of late. Supervisor Scott Wiener's proposal this month to require patrons to wear clothes in restaurants and to place a covering on a public seat if you're using it while nude has inspired plenty of puns and "only in San Francisco" eye rolls, but many people take their right to bare all seriously.

A "nude-in" is planned for noon Saturday at Castro Commons Plaza, better known as the "Buff Stop." Although the event was scheduled before Wiener introduced his proposal, the event could draw more participants thanks to the supervisor's stance, CBS SF reports.
