What a pervert!!! Unfortunately, our political offices here in the United States are filled with people who may not be as attention grabbing, but are still waging war against the healthful practice of nudism.
When I was having the Skinny-Dipper Flag made I found a company in Little Rock, Arkansas. Knowing that there was this history, I thought it ironic that the bright yellow and blue flag that promotes nude activities around the globe today, is made in Arkansas.( :'))
My understanding is that even today, nudism is flat out illegal in Arkansas or even to promote it. Clear violation of the 1st amendment but to my knowledge, nobody has been willing to challenge it
People like this give Christianity a bad name, twisting the scriptures for their own purposes. Still many of them prefer to wallow in their heresy than accept what God's word actually says about the body.
Terrific research and excellent structure here. Very well done article! A current resident of Oklahoma, I find Sawyer’s forays into the state fascinating, not least of all because if this were happening today, our outstandingly inept and ignorant state government would have supported him without batting an eye. Fortunately in Oklahoma we have a terrific naturist park, Oaklake Trails, that does indeed draw many visitors and members from our neighboring state of Arkansas, precisely because of Sawyer’s shameful and hypocritical legacy there.
A pornographer. Titillating his audience with tales of men and women running around nude together, he made it okay, and made a living, by asking for money to put a stop to it.
Sad story that has been replayed for hundreds of years -- pick something you can demonize, blame it for peoples problems, make them afraid of it, offer a singular solution to save them from it. In this case, under the guise of religion. A sad story.

Fascinating history of hypocrisy and culture wars! Thank you for your hard work and research pulling this together. Great piece.
Excellent research and writing. The man’s hypocrisy seeps through his entire life of performing for pay.
