Yeah, but they shouldn't have. There's nothing "free speech" about running around mostly naked and twerking at car windows in public. Decency laws should apply.

I believe the issue is that not only did the law go beyond bikinis...

"It is difficult to imagine, the court wrote, how the ordinance would be equally applied to men and women in practice because it prohibits clothing “typically worn by women rather than men,” including midriff and scoop-back shirts, as well as bikinis."

But that it was determined to be discriminatory to a specific demographic as it targeted a profession. (After all, bikinis were still legal to wear at the beach.)

'Bikini baristas were “clearly” a target of the ordinance, the court also ruled, adding that the profession is comprised of a workforce that is almost entirely women."
