Everything is sadly true. The naturist/nudist population in America may as well not even exist, because it is so outlandish to Americans that the concept never even crosses our minds! (Well, except for me and a few others, of course.) The awareness and existance of naturism/nudism is dying, and the few teenagers who seem to be left are stranded in their own anguish. It makes me incredibly sad, knowing the hard truth. The reality is staggeringly unreal. What we need to do is make our voices heard, no matter how old we are. We need to know more than what we fight for, we need to know why we fight for it! We aren't advocating for ourselves, we're advocating for everyone who advocates the cause of naturism. A house divided against itself cannot stand. If the world is our house, dividing ourselves from it won't help us more than it will hurt. Just standing here like we should only be hanging around othet people that are naturists won't make the world hear our cries for freedom and understanding. We need to get out there and do something! He who has ears, let him hear, because we need to speak up for everything we believe in as naturists, not just ourselves! Everyone, male and female, take a stand, as you imagine a flag waving behind me!
