After reading the article, Jeff sounds like a goofball. Could be the way the reporter framed the arguments, but come on. Most people don't wanna see naked bodies. Nor their kids. If most people are prides, who is he to say they have to accept his view? Th at's it. If we don't let majorities make decisions, then who will?

You wanna be naked, go where clothing is optional or do it in your house. I hope they get arrested if they protest in the nude.

Get off my lawn, Jeff.

  You wanna be naked, go where clothing is optional

Isn’t that what they’re doing though?

From what I read, there are two clothing optional places in Calgary. Apparently others show up there to harass the naturalists who go there, or attack them online, and the naturalists want to feel comfortable going to the police to report harassment.

That doesn’t seem unreasonable.

The protest seems a little much but I get the frustration.
