Yes, I happen to be one of those who would "shout it from the rooftops." I make no secret of the fact that I like to be free of clothing much of the time, especially when the weather is hot. More often that not, I'm naked for no better reason than that I couldn't be bothered putting any clothes on when I got out of bed! And so all my friends, family and neighbours are used to seeing me run around naked, and have come to not care. If they once thought of me as some psychopathic idiot, they don't seem to now, and we all get along just fine.

However, my situation doesn't fit all naturists or other clothes-free participants. Many are concerned about any backlash from neighbours, employers, family - even spouses. And so they are quite content to go down to their local sun club once in a while, and that seems to be sufficient. They are not necessarily all-out to promote clothes-free acceptance in society generally. I wish they were, but I have to respect their right to their own level of involvement.

But, for those of us that do have a passion to "spread the word" about the benefits of shedding those clothes and promote acceptance, it's important that we do hold the media to account and call out inaccurate reporting, personal bias on the part of the journalist, and lame, childish writing that is looking for a cheap laugh to the detriment of the cause.

I believe it's important to continue 'shouting it from the rooftops' as the article says. Probably the more so directed toward restrictive Western societies who are ensconced in the concept of nudism is for sex.
