I agree with you, these guys that Bob posted the link to are not good Ambassadors to Nudism.
I followed the adjoining photos and was shocked. They were having oral sex on the street. That's the type of behavior that gives nudists a bad rep.

I agree with you guys about the San Fransicko gay community. They're not a good advertisement for anything but public perversion.
However, there are good nudists in San Francisco too. I don't have any photo links handy. Some news stories a few months ago about the proposed local law requiring towels to sit on at sidewalk cafés had some video of decent looking chaps.
Blessings

Bob I didn't mean you were promoting these guys, I know you don't believe in that sort of stuff.

You can pretty well bet that nudity will eventually be banned completely in SF and all of California, if people continue to act like that in a public setting.
It only takes one or two to mess up something good.

As having grown up across the bay from SF, I have been over there often enough. And, if that were not enough, I grew up in the northeastern corner of Berkeley, CA. I saw it all!!!
SF has always been good-humored about the non-conformists that made/make life more interesting. Back in the good old days, there were people like Carol Doda, who appeared in the nude as she attempted to swim in the SF bay, with plenty of photographers on hand.
Further back, there was Emporer Norton, the highly eccentric fellow who thought himself to be the emporer of the USA, and protecorate of Mexico. He printed his own money and was able to spend it in stores. Thousands later attended his funeral.
It's been the history of SF to claim to be the home of unconventional people and their behavior. Given that background, nudity in the city seems to blend in with its past. Militant homosexuality has a palpable presence there, to say the least, and they can mess it up for the rest of the nudist world. Their parades are nothing you'd want to take children to.
If there were nudist parades, if one can conjure that up in their mind, we would not engage in lascivious behavior. I'm not sure what a nudist parade would entail, come to think of it.
Right across the bay from SF, near downtown Berkeley, I saw nude people sitting on their respective apartment house's outer stairways and fire escapes during the warmer months. People's Park, just east of downtown Berkeley frequently had nude people in it -- lots of them. Of course that was back in the hippie and flower children days. A very socially conservative relative of mine had neighbors who were backyard nudists, and they were in full view from her back yard. She never called the police though; just turned her head away when she could otherwise see them. Berkeley has changed a lot -- very prissy town, in a left-wing sense of that word. No nudes anymore.
I'm glad the court decided to okay nudity on one's property. But what about possible textile type neighbors? They can shut their blinds. There is no situation that I know of that where somebody has the right to stare at their neighbors yard, or the inside their windows. Frankly, I don't care what goes on in my neighbor's yard or inside their home, unless there were violence going on.
If in doubt, when in SF, head for Baker Beach, where nudes are welcome, and gawked at, too. LOL.

I don't think it's a question of gay or not gay, it's the association that people make between nudity and sex in the streets.
A friend of mine used to say, "I don't care what you do, as long as you don't do it in the streets and scare the horses."
The horses wouldn't be scared by nudity, but they would be by the license taken by some to 'express themselves'.
