Our pride in being bare practitioners (gay nudists) extends beyond the month of June every year. It's an ongoing process that reaffirms our self-worth throughout the entire year.
This development of our sense of confidence in ourselves doesn't bestow in any of us the right of arrogance and/or thee right of judgment. We, of all people, know better than to make that assumption. Most of us have been the target of prejudicial behaviour (or worse) in our own lives and know first-hand how that makes people feel. Patience and tolerance of others, regardless of the beliefs or values they hold, should be our guide. Our pride in ourselves includes pride in our action towards others.
Being confident and proud of ourselves involves respecting the rights of others in allowing them to be proud of themselves, too. Our freedom should not entail denying the same to anyone else.
