It’s the end of the month of June, which means that the USA national holiday, July 4, isn’t very far away. That’s the reason I selected this particular image for this post, there is an American flag hanging from the lifesaving kiosk. A premature reminder that even though it has just arrived, Summer is rapidly passing us by. The nude and clothing-optional beaches are calling out our names – go to one fast before the season is completely finished!
GLBTQ (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer) Pride Month, at least here in the USA, is over for another year. I hope all of us remember to carry around our gay and nude pride until the next one comes along. It isn’t always easy to be a gay nudist, so it is often incumbent on each of us to be as supportive as possible for all of our brothers and sisters. None of us are able to journey through life alone and unaided by others.
In celebrating GLBTQ Pride Month, I published my second interview here at ReNude Pride. The post, Interview: Dean of Black Nude Taurus, was featured here on June 19, 2017. In case you missed the reading the interview, click the title to be linked directly there.
My first cousin, Michael Poladopoulos, began publishing his blog here at wordpress.com during this month. Our fathers are brothers and Michael is 9 years younger than Alex, my identical twin, and myself. Like Alex and I, Michael is also Deaf, same gender loving (gay) and a bare practitioner (naturist/nudist). I encourage everyone reading here to visit and follow his blog. Click on the following title to be linked to his site: Nekkid Furry Boi. I’ve already added his journal to the Bare Blogging Crew page here at ReNude Pride.
Summer is, at last, now officially here and I think that there’s no one any happier than me. This is beyond a shadow of a doubt my absolute favorite time of all the year! There is always so much to see and do during this season, along with the desire to see and do it all before Autumn arrives. Fortunately, the longest day of sunlight in the Northern Hemisphere always occurs during the summer season (June 21).
As we close out Gay and Nude Pride Month, let’s all remember that our month of celebration may be over. However, we all carry our confidence in being same gender loving (gay) bare practitioners (naturists/nudists) with us throughout the year. We should all hold our heads us high!
Naked hugs!

Roger, the links in your post to Michael’s blog and to you bare crew are broken. A little fix will make them work I’m sure. Stay naked and continue spreading the naked love! M.

Wow! 3 Deaf, gay, nudists in one generation! My family’s still dealing with the ‘burden’ of me being gay and having an African American partner of 5+ years.
Do any of the hearing people in the family sign?

All of our immediate family (parents and siblings) know American Sign Language (ASL) and Greek Sign Language. Each of them have taught their spouses and are teaching their children (nieces and nephews). Aaron’s parents are learning ASL as well as his brother.

Wow! That’s amazing! And a rarity, unfortunately. All too often Deaf kids have nobody at home with whom they can communicate easily. Then when they’re old enough to travel independently the family acts mystified as to why the Deaf member has no real interest in them…..

It probably depends on the family. There is also a severe shortage of resources in this country for the families of the Deaf.
