That was quite a comprehensive overview in one article. Of course I'm glad that the TN legislature carved out an exception for private, landed naturist clubs. It did bother me that the original legislation criminalized simple nudity on public lands and placed skinnydipping in the same category as public sodomy and bestiality. How can any rational person equate simple nudity with sodomy or beastiality. I think some people still think that way. Thanks for the article. Look forward to reading more.
Was this a desegregated club? Or were such laws implemented at the time that applied to all social clubs?
