There's a fine line between public lewdness and being fashionable. It is up to the legislators (sometimes unfortunately), to decide where that line is. How many people in Louisiana, a deep south, very conservative state, are opposed to this bill? Not nearly as many as you might think, I'd bet. If the federal government tried to pass this kind of law, that'd be one thing, but for a state to say "The majority of our representatives, representing the majority of the people in their district, find this to be public lewdness" is well within their rights. If people in that state are truly opposed to it, they will voice that and have the bill defeated.
