Throughout early 2024, two pairs of legislative bills threatened to sour the milk for naturists and nudists in America’s Dairyland. One pair of bills sought to turn nudity into a “strict liability crime,” stripping away any reason, justification or excuse for nudity, including political protest! A broad coalition came together eventually, but the path out of the puzzle-house was going to require naturists, nudists, and bike-riders to follow some unfamiliar-sounding instructions.
