Bikinis too risque for Utah city

Published: June 8, 2008 at 1:40 PM

KANAB, Utah, June 8 (UPI) -- The southern Utah city of Kanab has banned bikinis and other revealing gear at a city pool to earn a "G-rating," residents say.

Kanab resident Linda Osborn said by banning bikinis, cutoffs and Speedos from the new city pool, area officials were building from their 2006 passage of a natural-family resolution, which defined what a real family should be, The Salt Lake Tribune reported Sunday.

"They want to give it a G-rating," Osborn said. "This (City Council) is the same bunch who (adopted) the natural-family (resolution in 2006)."

The Cowboy Water'n' Hole is to officially open July 4 and the public uproar over the ban has left council members reconsidering the regulation.

"That was meant for thong bikinis and things like that," Councilwoman Nina Laycook told the Tribune. "It was an oversight on our part.

"We'll have to amend (the policy) from time to time."
