SAN ANTONIO — Roughly 30 people, including several nearly topless women, marched through downtown San Antonio on Sunday afternoon, demanding the right to bare their bosoms in public.

The rally downtown was one of two scheduled in Texas, according to the organizers website, with the other taking place in Austin.

The Texas protests were part of a broader effort according to organizers, who said there were similar events in at least 50 other cities around the world.

The women at the San Antonio rally did not go entirely topless, electing to wear tape over their nipples. A city ordinance prohibits women from exposing their breasts in public.

A spokeswoman for the San Antonio Police Department said there were no arrests.
