Once again, nudism and nudists are taking another public relations kick in the teeth....and it hurts and it is not deserved.
Godiva has a well-trained nose for politics and personal destruction, and nudity is collateral damage as a consequence. What am I yammering about?
Everyone knows that Miss California Carrie Prejean unleashed a torrent of abuse from the heterophobe community for stating that her opinion on gay marriage is the same as Barack Obama's: She considers marriage to be the sacred covenant between one man and one woman. As we all know, that's when it all started http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2009/05/07/2009-05-07_court_docs_miss_california_usa_carrie_prejean_used_homosexuality_as_an_insult.html
Just like Joe the Plumber needed to be destroyed, stories magically appeared about her breast implants and her earlier posing for semi-nude photos after she irked the gay-and-lesbian community.
We are going to avoid jumping into the merits of heterosexual vs. gay marriage....that subject has been raging for months and will continue to percolate. The subject here is the prohibitions by a young, beautiful beauty pageant contestant.....not just Miss California.....but any contestant about posing semi-nude or nude.
Earlier this month, we were all treated to reports out of Europe about a Swiss Canton saying "nein" to nude hiking in the Alps....as if this was some horrific crime. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8019766.stm
There is a continuing effort, intentional or unintentional, to portray those who pose in the nude, hike in the nude, garden in the nude, swim in the nude, sunbathe in the nude as freaks of society. And if someone has the audacity to utter opinions that are contrary to political correctness, then the boom gets lowered including charges that (gasp) so-and-so posed in the nude or hiked in the nude etc.
So a nudist's love of nudity has become a weapon?
The whole exercise is very chilling, and threatens the future of nudity and those who enjoy the innocent pleasure of just running around without their clothes.
Pretty soon, the one-party state will be fitting women into their burkas!
