COLUMBUS, Ohio -- It is legal for a woman to go topless in Columbus. And every year some choose to use that right at Community Festival (Comfest).
This year, GoTopless.org is using the Comfest platform to encourage more women to lose the top.
Some parents say they will keep their families away because of what they could see, while others are using the opportunity to show others they believe there is nothing to hide.
Lauren Damon is a new mother, and is organizing a nurse-in for mothers to be able to breastfeed in public.
Her group will set up at Goodale Park this weekend during Comfest to try and breakdown stigmas associated with breastfeeding.
Some are more understanding of mothers nursing, while saying they are not comfortable with women showing their breasts just because they can.
Others say if a man can go topless, so can women.
