G-string bikini ban protest on the Gold Coast: Dramatic moment demonstrators in VERY skimpy swimsuits march after man called for rules about ‘erotic’ swimsuits

A mass demonstration has broken out on the Gold Coast, with demonstrators lashing out in skimpy swimsuits after a local man called for a ban on string bikinis.

Community worker Ian Grace caused a national uproar this week with a letter to the local newspaper expressing his discomfort with women wearing trendy, barely-there swimwear.

That sparked a huge backlash as scantily clad locals marched along Broadbeach on Friday, calling on Australians to ‘liberate the peach’.

Organizer Rebecca Pask said a ban on bikini blankets would “never be the solution.” Never. Not on the Gold Coast.

“Children and our young girls in society, we have to teach them what is appropriate and what is not, but that starts at home,” she said.

Radio presenter Bianca Dye and influencers Rhiannon O’Loughlin and Brooke Michelle Woods attended the meeting.

In his controversial letter, Grace recalled how he was shocked by a young woman’s G-string bikini.

“One young lady in particular was walking on the footpath along the main road and had the smallest triangle in front of her and was as naked as anyone could be,” he wrote.

“Although any man would enjoy ‘the view’, I believe that women are deeply degrading and cheapening themselves, portraying themselves as sex objects and then disapproving when men see them that way.”

Dozens of demonstrators carried signs reading ‘free the beach’ and ‘#peachful protest’

The volunteer said that ‘bare buttocks’ are just as erotic as bare breasts and should therefore be banned in the same way.

“If it is not prohibited on the beach, then it is certainly prohibited as soon as they leave the beach,” he wrote.

‘This should certainly not be allowed in public swimming pools or theme/water parks which are much more family oriented. Young children don’t need to see women’s buttocks.’

Mr Grace advocated for the city’s mayor, Tom Tate, to ban the fashion statement – something the elected official quickly rejected.
