Colorado man defends wife's right to garden topless
BOULDER, CO — In response to neighborhood reports of a topless gardener, the housing authority in a Colorado town plans to amend its rules so that tenants cover up when they’re outside.
Robert Pierce, of Boulder, says he’ll fight changes that would keep his wife from gardening outside topless, which is legal under state and city law.
“They’re making a big mistake,” he said.
Boulder Housing Partners Executive Director Betsey Martens didn’t return a phone call Friday seeking details on how covered residents would have to be.
She told the Daily Camera newspaper that people have complained for years about the couple often going outside wearing only thong underwear.
Several passersby called Boulder police Wednesday when Catharine Pierce, 52, tended to her yard wearing only a yellow thong and pink gloves. Police decided she wasn’t breaking any laws.
This is why I live here.
