Freedom doesn't seen to come without a cost that is a sad reflection of America, especially when you tell the world you are fighting for freedom but don't have liberty at home.
- Byron Donalds got the Trump endorsement. DeSantis and company are a non-factor.
- The two most successful nude beaches are in county parks, and a third nude beach would be in a county park, so that level of government needs to be the focus.
- AANR being written into state legislation seems like a horrible idea, considering how incompetent that organization is.
- Sounds like this is a great time to co-opt the "Free State of Florida" slogan for a pro-nudism campaign!
- Florida clubs need to have a short list of families that are willing to combat any "nudity is bad for kids" PR
- Florida worships money more than any other morality
The problem for nudists isn't with county governments. The beaches you refer to may be on county property, and they have had recent support from county administrations, in the form of physical improvements, but the state has frequently been over-ruling local governments in Florida for the past several years. The concept of local-control has been repeatedly ignored in Florida.
Florida has gone after far larger sources of revenue than nudism. Disney re-located a major multi-billion dollar expansion, from Florida to California, after being targeted by state government for support of LGBTQ people. In Florida, politics has been trumping all else (pun intended.)
$7.2 Billion to Florida’s annual economy? Does that revenue not go to the resorts, hotels, restaurants, and stores that benefit from this inflow of revenue? Along with the local municipalities that tax this revenue? If this is really true, the beneficiaries should be actively lobbying to keep Florida’s beaches free, themselves! Since they obviously are not, it sounds like a public education plan should be in order to remind businesses and local governments of just how much revenue they stand to lose if nude beaches are done away with. The whole notion that beaches have a dress code when every single one of us was born nude, showers nude, etc. is absurd by itself.

I stand with you all. Sharing and boosting. We gotta save our nude spots and fight against these authoritarians and culture haters
