“. . . we can reshape the culture we live in.  A lot of our social rules and cultural norms around nudity are illogical and can even be harmful.  But culture is made and shaped by humans.  This fact means that it’s constantly changing.” (Felicity Jones) . . . “We can make small changes in how we relate to the body in culture that affect others and ultimately affect the culture we live in.” (Kimberly Dark) . . . “We can change our social norms when the old ones don’t serve us — and in fact, when cultural constraints hurt people, we have a moral obligation to reshape culture.” (Sarah) . . . “we, as naturists, are influencing and reshaping the culture around us by being who we are and sharing our philosophy, ideals and values publicly.” (Felicity Jones) - https://youngnaturistsamerica.com/our-naked-bodies-the-humanist-experience-podcast/

“I have found freedom in my faith!   Freedom allows me to enjoy my body, the body that God designed and has given me, and I am not ashamed to show off God’s creation!  This is different view than most Christians.  You see, religions are man-made, but a relationship with Christ is God made.  Man-made religion is full of man-made rules!  A faith in Christ offers freedom in him.” - http://www.nakedwanderings.com/2016/11/17/naturist-talks-rob-usa/

“Why shouldn’t I be able to tend my garden or sunbathe in my backyard in the nude?  Or wash my car, check my mail, relax on my deck, or take my garbage can to the curb?  Who is harmed?  Whose rights are being infringed?  I believe that casual nudity should be decriminalized, that there should be no criminal, legal, or civil sanctions for simply being unclothed in view of the public.” - http://mojoreisen.com/blog/?p=1839

“Spain is opening a nudist restaurant in January, the first of its kind in the country.  The island of Tenerife will open its doors to a very open policy, as diners are encouraged to feast in the nude.  In nato Tenerife will offer organic food and local wines, with an onsite wood-fired oven. . . Tenerife’s venture will house enough space for 44 diners, in a private garden setting.  Fruit trees will feature throughout and the entire area will be illuminated in candlelight. . . the concept is not about the nudism, but rather looking beyond this aspect. . . an appreciation of the importance of returning to our origins.  Only open in the evenings, the restaurant offers three menu options including vegan, meat and fish, with all produce deemed environmentally friendly. . . The San Isidro restaurant is due to open on January 20 2017.  Reservations have already started flooding in.” – Claudia Cuskelly, http://www.express.co.uk/travel/articles/726435/spain-nudist-restaurant-innato-tenerife-london-bunyadi-success

“Frankly I have long since tired of so many in general society viewing nudists as eccentric, odd, voyeuristic, exhibitionists, sexual predators and pedophiles.  We are simply normal, everyday Americans who refuse to buy into the prudish culture of body shame, extremist modesty standards and nudity as a societal taboo.” - The Emerging Nudist
