Alicante nudists unhappy at new local beach bylaw
By h.b. - May 29, 2008 - 8:54 AM
Those who remove their clothes on the beach now face fines of upto 1,500 €
The Alicante Nudist Association, Osiris, says that new by laws in the city are ridiculous. New regulations mean that those who remove their bathing costume on the beaches of the city face a fine of between 751 and 1500 €.
However nudists can walk naked down the Avenida de Maissonave in the town and face no problems, except possible comments and embarrassment. The Town Hall says walking in the street is also not allowed, but the Prosecutors’ Office has said that in fact there is no crime committed unless there are children present, as it comes under article 185 of the penal code which attends exhibitionism and sexual provocation.
The nudists are claiming discrimination with the new law fining those who remove their costumes, and say that similar fines should be imposed on those who remain dressed in local nudist beaches and restaurants.
Meanwhile Maribel Martínez from the Alicante Pro Family Beach group told 20 minutos newspaper yesterday that despite presenting a 10,000 signature petition against topless women on the beach, the local councillor with responsibility for the beaches, Carmen Román, is refusing to see them.

It is pretty pathetic to know this.This is supposed to be a free country,
and in a free country one cannot be prosecuted for the choices of another.
Sure, many people who have something better to do than think are offended
by nudity. Many others are not. Clearly, being offended is a personal
choice, and people have a right to make that choice, but no one should be
required to cater to that choice as a matter of law.Nudity is not obscene
and should not be offensive.There is a difference in nudism or naturalism
and pornography. Nudism believes in the freedom from the restrictions of
clothing, Porn is for sexual gratification. Naturist looks like you and I
and come from all walks of life. You will find it to be a relaxing
lifestyle that is free of the daily stress we all experience. Naturist
groups like naturistmingle.com are looking for people who are open minded
and want to enjoy the company of others of a like mind.

Nudists should stick to their own beaches and be kept well away from the
rest of us. We non-nudists are entitled to be comfortable when using
public places and we don't want to have to tolerate a sight we find
revolting. The law should protect people from inconsiderate nudists and
exhibitionists.

I see Stu, AKA Bison, is displaying his normal persona, slightly different
from the nudist friendly guy he pretends to be on 'Clothes Free
international Forum'.
This is the guy who has an unnatural aversion to nudity and shouldn't be taken as a representative voice of the people.

Christians should stick to their own non-marked buildings and be kept well away from the rest of us. We non-christians are entitled to be comfortable when using public spaces and we don't want to have to tolerate an ideology we find revolting. The law should protect people from inconsiderate christians and their churches.
