A Go Topless Day demonstration in San Francisco included 14 men wearing bikinis, nipple tape or other breast coverings to promote topless equality.

The men, along with eight completely topless women, rallied Sunday at Justin Herman Plaza as part of the third annual Go Topless Day, which is aimed at allowing women to legally bare their breasts the same as men, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Monday.

"If we're supposed to be equal across the board, then women should be allowed to show their breasts," said protester Michael Staley, 43, who wore a bustier to cover his chest. "Why can't they? Men can, women should, period."

Fellow protester Angela Oliver, 23, agreed.

"We should be able to do everything that men can, and I like my boobs and I like being naked, so here I am," she said. "I don't feel like I'm being sexual right now by being topless. It's completely natural."
