Gay Naturism in The United Kingdom
A community website www.nakedmates.co.uk offers social networking for men looking to connect with other men also interested in male naturism. Naturism is a component of meetings of a UK grouping of the Radical Faeries called Albion Faeries. In addition a number of naturist swims organised by heterosexuals and documented by NUFF have a strong gay following.
Websites such as Meetup contain listings for a number of gay naturist groups in the UK. These include massage and tantric massage sessions and visits to naked clubbing venues.
A number of gay naturist organisations have existed in the United Kingdom. Gymnos offered social get-togethers for members only in and around London, and regular nude swimming (closed down in March 2010) together with Gay London Swimmers (GLS) at a public swimming pool in Camberwell, South London (closed down in 2009). Certain nudist beaches have areas which are informally used by gay men.

Famous quotes containing the words gay, united and/or kingdom:
“Coming out, all the way out, is offered more and more as the political solution to our oppression. The argument goes that, if people could see just how many of us there are, some in very important places, the negative stereotype would vanish overnight. ...It is far more realistic to suppose that, if the tenth of the population that is gay became visible tomorrow, the panic of the majority of people would inspire repressive legislation of a sort that would shock even the pessimists among us.”
—Jane Rule (b. 1931)
“I am colored but I offer nothing in the way of extenuating circumstances except the fact that I am the only Negro in the United States whose grandfather on the mother’s side was not an Indian chief.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“Women, children, Tyroleans and preachers want to create a new kingdom of God, but the God of their kingdom looks like women, children, preachers, and Tyrolians.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
