A Nudists' Bill of Rights
|
One thing we are thankful for this year is the right to recreate in the nude. Read on:
A Nudists' Bill of Rights
As
law-abiding citizens, we proudly affirm that we have and are entitled to
exercise the following rights. We believe that these rights are self-evident,
and that they are also based in the Constitutions of the United States and Canada, court rulings, and the laws
of our countries:
Nudists have the right to
hold our system of values and beliefs...
Nudists have the right to
petition and be heard by our governments...
Nudists have the right to
responsibly enjoy nudity within our homes and property...
Nudists have the right to
be parents, and to exercise reasonable decision-making in the upbringing of our
families in a manner consistent with our beliefs and without interference by
others...
Nudists have the right to
assemble in the nude within appropriate settings...
Nudists have the right to
have decisions about what constitutes "acceptable nudity" made free from
considerations of race, gender, religion, or national origin...
Nudists have the right to
responsibly enjoy private property in a state of nudity...
Nudists have the right to
responsibly enjoy being nude on public lands, within appropriate locations...
Nudists have a right to
be free from adverse or retaliatory actions by their employers as a result of
their lawful enjoyment of nudity when away from work...
Nudists have a right to
have wholesome nudity accurately portrayed in human history...
Nudists have a right to
experience life-affirming portrayals of the human body in all its stages as
depicted by the performing arts, the fine arts, and in literature...
Nudists have a right to
be treated as law-abiding citizens rather than as criminals...

Nakation in a Box Makes Holiday Gift List
|
Not sure
what to give that special someone for the holidays this year? LA Splash Magazines
Worldwide has a few suggestions in its just-released gift guide Holiday Travel
& Leisure Gifts for 2009--including AANR's popular Nakation in a Box.
The
description reads: "Thinking about giving nude recreation a try, but not sure
where to begin? The American
Association for Nude Recreation's (http://www.aanr.com) new Nakation in a Box
is a great way to start." The guide then directs readers to the Nakation page and lists the contents of the
box.
This is yet
another example of the mainstreaming of nude recreation. Splash Magazine's gift
guide includes everything from spa retreats, luxury hotel and vacation
packages, high end sports equipment and miscellaneous gifts for all budgets.
