Hi, everybody!

Come celebrate Valentine’s Day with us in the nude! We make love naked. How about you?

What could possibly be a more appropriate dress code for celebration of love?

Come celebrate body freedom and freedom of expression with us!

Let’s remind everybody what San Francisco is really about.

San Francisco was named after St Francis who was a nudist. He preached in the nude.

One day St Francis built a church using his wealthy merchant father’s money. When his father took him to court St Francis stripped naked in front of everybody, threw his clothes to his father and said: “I shall go naked to meet my naked lord.”

Nothing could be more ignorant and hypocritical than criminalizing the human body in a city that is named after a preacher who preached in the nude.

In early 2013 a law was passed in San Francisco that is commonly called “the nudity ban”. According to this law you can go to jail for a year for merely taking off your clothes on a warm summer day. (That’s if you do it 3 times in a year. If it is your first or second time you get a $100 fine.)

Nothing could be more hypocritical than criminalizing God’s creation – the human body.

Criminalizing genitals is no different from criminalizing flowers – they are plant’s genitals. Imagine if flowers had to be covered. Imagine if plants got thrown in jail for blooming and showing their flowers.

And what about animals? Imagine having to put underwear on your dog and worrying that if your dog rips it off it will be thrown in jail.

How come we have less rights than dogs and flowers?

It’s time to legalize humans!
