"North America has lost dozens of nude beaches since the 1980s. Two of those challenged last year—Hanlan’s Point and Denny Blaine Park—were preserved through the rapid response and well-organized efforts of the local LGBTQ communities."

"On April 22, millions of ordinary people will stand up and say ‘enough’ to the shortsighted officials and corporations who fail to get the priorities straight. Naturists should be prominent in the Earth Day activities.”

On this #EarthDay take time to reflect on your respect for life. A key aspect of naturism is mutual respect. For your own body, for everybody else, and for all living things including this planet we call home.

"An early nudism advocate who wrote the 1932 book On Going Naked, which was the basis for the subsequent documentary film This Nude World, Jan Gay’s extensive career touched on everything from early sex studies to LGBTQ+ rights and children’s literature."

I sent this message to Bluesky through their feedback page. I urge everyone else to write to them to complain about non-sexual nude images being reclassified as pornography, and keep appealing those decisions in the meantime (as far as I can tell this can only be done on PC, not the mobile app).

"Naked Age is a historical audio series exploring uncommon people who have gone to extraordinary lengths to incorporate nudity into their lives. It's an interview series profiling activists, artists, individualists and misfits who have a singular point of view on the world."

"In 1932, she published On Going Naked, a book that blends Gay’s own experience of nudism with a larger history of the nudism movement. When the book was adapted into a documentary called This Nude World, Gay wrote the script. Newspapers dubbed her the leader of nudism in New York."
The Lesbian Sex Researcher that History Forgot
Jan Gay was ahead of her time--an openly queer woman who spearheaded some of the first studies of lesbians. She's largely been forgotten. Until now.
