BRATTLEBORO, Vt. - Vermont's clothing-optional capital is stripping off its temporary ban on public nudity.

A month after passing the temporary ban, the Brattleboro Selectboard voted 3-2 on Tuesday to reject a proposed ordinance that would have made it permanent. When the emergency temporary ordinance expires next month, public nudity will no longer be illegal.

It's all about tolerance, one board member said.

"We in this country are going down a slippery slope these days," said Dora Bouboulis, noting a national newspaper recently published an article about the emergency ordinance under the headline "Tolerant town gets intolerant."

She said it wasn't up to the town to restrict anyone's right to dress or undress.

Before the vote, residents weighed in on both sides of the debate.

Michael Gauthier gave the Selectboard a petition with signatures of 967 people who support a nudity ban.

"What is the point, other than shock and awe, that the nudists are trying to make?" he asked.

Good for them.

Now they can actually be free.

Porno movies will be in the making in no time.

What does everyone think the child molestation and rape rates are going to be like very soon?

I hope I'm around when they start making those in the middle of the street.

Aren't they already high enough nationwide as it is?
