Bare-Volution: Introduction!

Evolving bare together!

Introduction:

For many of us “experienced” bare practitioners, the evolution from textile (clothed) to our nakedness is as simple as just not wearing any clothing at all! No detailed explanation is necessary, we’re merely clothes free – bare, naked, nude – and that’s it! It doesn’t require an act of parliament to recognize this fact.

Yet there are some among us who need patience, tolerance and understanding in order to evolve from fashionable (clothing) to freedom (nudity). This discrepancy is not by choice. It is simply a matter of personality and uniqueness. It is also the purpose of today’s post entry here for ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers!

Hesitant about being seen in nakedness!

The Reality:

The basic, essential and ultimate fact is there exists no determined universal standard agenda/formula/guideline/lesson plan that presents us with a guaranteed solution in resolving the issue of a) personal comfort posing and b) self confidence in our nudity. There are numerous suggestions and countless options but not one absolute perfect equation acceptable for everyone. Our similarities are endless and simultaneously, so are our differences.

Thus, the profusion of options/theories to consider, examine and explore. The choices are unlimited and new proposals appear and older offerings disappear without schedule or warning. This situation sometimes results in confusion especially when the newer ideas directly conflict the older concepts and vice versa.

Selfie pose!

Most persons posing for pictures without clothes or covering generate some consideration or hesitancy. This is natural/ordinary. The wearing of garments is a “learned” (taught) behaviour which is among the most difficult of behaviours to “un-learn.” Even the most experienced bare practitioners concede to a certain nervousness when posing for photos nude. Such is the “variety” of life and our uniqueness as individuals!

The simplest solution is to just pose naked and move forward in life. This is the coping strategy that is applicable to the vast majority. Yet there are some who have lingering anxiety about this problem. Unfortunately, there is no general resolution available.

His briefs on his head!

The Underwear Party:

Aaron, my spouse, has experience coaching (advising, instructing) and coaxing (encouraging) those exploring SGL nakedness in easing into social nudity. One method he endorses is the hosting of an “underwear party” where each participant must wear only one underwear garment. The overwhelming majority employ the customary and very traditional boxers/briefs/thongs scenario.

Underwear Party: the usual audience!

The usual approach conceals/covers the genital region and is worn 99% in the conventional manner. What is not admitted is the fact that about 6 – 8 planners of the activity wear their mandatory single underwear item on their heads – beret style!

His briefs as a hat!

When these planners enter the social gathering as a group, they receive everyone’s attention and laughter! They are immediate social “stars” and soon others are imitating their sense of style. Even those who were anxious and nervous in being completely bare in front of others! They were involved in the atmosphere of frivolity they disregarded or else forgot about their anxiety and joined in the fun! Mission accomplished!

The game of Twister!

The Twister Game:

The simple and popular game “twister” is another favourite activity according to Aaron’s experience in helping others become comfortable with social nudity. The game involves everyone being completely clothes free and then matching the body appendage (hand, foot) with a particular colour. The entanglement of the bare bodies creates the “fun” aspect of the activity.

Each game can accommodate up to four players so a number of games may be needed, depending on the anticipated attendance. The speed of the matching colour and appendage keeps the excitement and fun in focus. Fortunately, this activity can be played both indoors or outside.

Games that encourage participants to compete instead of focusing on their communal (social) nudity are very widely popular with newcomers to the bare practitioner community. The attention is directed into the activity rather than on just everyone being naked together.

More Twister!

As the “newly-nude” – nubies – begin to realize that there are opportunities for being bare that are participant involved instead of everyone just sitting around and staring at a room full of clothes free people. Nakedness is encouraged and endorsed while at the same time it is not the sole reason for the event. There is planned activity/agenda to keep everyone focused and involved.

Juggling!

Having a directed and organised theme enables the anxious and conscientious nubie that the majority of the attention of the bare practitioners will be on the actions of the competitors and participants and not solely on the bodies present. This “distraction” may not remove the concern and inhibitions of everyone but hopefully allow them to relax and begin to get comfortable in socially naked environments.

Aaron believes that any type of activity helps to reduce the nervousness and tensions that those who are newcomers may experience. Available options may include even simpler events such as charades and card games. It doesn’t require expense and extensive planning. Sometimes the familiar and the simple are the best and most enjoyed by all!

Naked hugs!

Total bare-volution!

Spring Cleaning!

Bare Celebrity, Landon (left) and friend!

Analogy: if similar in some respects, then they must be similar in other respects.

The header photograph (above) probably needs no explanation as it is obvious that the two men are pointing to the penis on the other; therefore, they are referencing it. And as a notation, the Black man is a celebrity within the same gender loving (SGL) film industry (porn). His stage name (performance) name is Landon. We are unsure as to why they are discussing penis but on closer inspection they’re both almost identical in length and thickness, at least while flaccid (calm, relaxed).

The .gif images published below also feature Landon, today’s guest celebrity, this time sharing a sudsy bath with a different partner.

Landon and his partner’s buttocks!

Comparing all the visuals of Landon and his accomplices, perhaps they are sharing information on hygiene and/or what is known as “spring cleaning.”

The fact that Landon and his cohort appear to be clean, it is appropriate to speculate that cleaning is a similar trait in their personal routine. Given Landon’s professional status, hygiene is expected of him as part of his work preparedness.

Landon’s fascination with male anatomy!

A patronizing inference is not intended so we can safely assume the same applies to the level of cleanliness of Landon’s buddy/friend/lover/partner. Thus, the phrase “spring cleaning” in no way refers that they each bathe just once, annually, in the Spring!

Hence, the usage of “spring cleaning” may infer – hopefully – to the routine of maintaining a tidy, pristine and safe environment (body, living space, etc.) by both men, individually and/or jointly.

Footnote #1: No disrespect to Landon nor to his friend. Aaron, my spouse, and I both appreciate his DVD scenes as well as his personal appearance. Just a “spring speculation” on an uncertain phrase and what it really means!

Footnote #2: Since we’ve identified the analogy here, perhaps the time has arrived to rename the title of this posting. A suggestion of something more accurate and descriptive. Maybe: Bare Spring Cleaning? We are, after all, bare practitioners!

Naked hugs!

Maschalagnia III Marvels!

Retired bare celebrity Kory Mitchell and his armpit up close!

The above header image of Kory Mitchell is my personal preference as a commencement to every resource I compose on the subject of men’s hairy armpits. I remember reading in a men’s gay magazine that Kory discussed the attraction that many gay men had for the hairy armpit. In the article, there was a term that Kory used to identify this phenomenon – regrettably I could not remember the label.

As best as we can determine, Aaron, my spouse and I deem the appropriate and authorized title of this post entry to be:

Maschalagnia III Marvels!

Kory Mitchell, bare practitioner!

Why repeat the numerical designation and entitlement? There are several reasons, the predominant and primary justification being that my spouse, Aaron, and I are the authors of ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! and April is our birthday month! That fact alone should satisfy any need for a reason but there is more: I am Roger and I openly and proudly acknowledge my real and true status as maschalagnia maniac! Nothing further needs to be offered at this time!

Kory Mitchell: tattoos and underarm fur!

In one of the very first gay pornography magazines that Alex, my identical twin brother and I “borrowed” from our older gay brother, Kory Mitchell was featured and asked to describe his modelling of his hairy armpits. This “eye-opening” experience and introduction into this fetish trend suffices to justify Kory’s position here!

Kory’s neck and shoulder tattoos.

Kory Mitchell is now retired and has lived as HIV+ for almost 30 years. Yes, we have met through our shared involvement with the Red Cross national HIV/AIDS educational and prevention efforts. Kory has both his neck and shoulder tattooed to remind his fans of the necessity of HIV prevention strategies. His association with HIV prevention education and advocacy of the studio executive’s responsibility to provide services to those infected with HIV gave him international notoriety and recognition!

The same gay porn magazine that introduced twin and I to Kory Mitchell likewise brought our attention to men’s hairy armpits. That appreciation and knowledge has remained with me since! I recall that Kory confirmed his personal admiration for the visibility of the “manly trait” – his exact words – of underarm fur! Thank you, Kory Mitchell!

For me, Kory is the appreciated and beloved “father” of every man’s hairy armpit! I am grateful for his public acknowledging of the fact that there exist others like me: underarm fur enthusiasts!

Definitions:

When I first encountered the term maschalagnia I had no idea what it meant. My initial reaction was of some type of affliction that impacted our health and well-being. Little did I know that it was a most appropriate and fitting description of me!

Maschalagnia: (formal) is a sexual attraction to armpits, also known as armpit fetishism or axillism. It is a paraphilia in which sexual arousal is focused on a specific non-genital body part, the armpit or underarm. The term originates from the ancient Greek combining maschala (armpit) and lagnaia (lust).

Someone with maschalagnia may find an armpit stimulating and this preference is recognized in sexology, psychology and psychiatry as part of the diversity of human sexual behaviour.

A brief casual definition of maschalagnia is a hairy armpit obsession. In humans the formation of body odor happens mostly in the armpit. These odorant substances serve as pheromones which play a role in sexual attraction and excitement.

Pheromones are chemical substances secreted by animals, including humans, to trigger (initiate) specific behavioural or physiological responses in others of the same species. These invisible messages play a crucial role in communication, reproduction, territory marking and social interaction.

Although controversial and still under scientific investigation, humans are known to undergo pheromone processing in sexual attraction as well as mother-infant bonding. There are also studies suggesting human pheromones influencing emotional states and cortisol levels (mood alteration).

Derived from the Greek words pherein (to carry) and hormon (to excite) pheromones act outside the body and influence the behaviour of others – unlike hormones which function inside the body.

Furry flexing!

Axilla: An armpit or an underarm. The area on the human body directly under the joint where the arm connects with the shoulder. It also contains numerous sweat glands.

Hirsute axilla: Profusely (very) hairy armpits/underarms. Used to refer to a person who is sexually attracted to armpit hair specifically.

Hairy armpit adoration!

Hirsute Inspiration: Ty Lattimore:

Ty Lattimore!

As Twin and I grew in our same gender love identity, we became friends with a local peer (two years older), Paul Turner, and he and I remain friends today. Paul already survived puberty and his underarm fur was obvious. He already self-identified as being gay and our friendship had a spectacular growth. Twin and I watched our very first “live” gay adult film with Paul – in VHS format that starred Ty Lattimore (above and below photos) and his hairy armpits! Ty became my VHS idol and Paul was “in the know” on all of Ty and his hirsuteness!

Ty Lattimore, the film star!

Paul was a very enthusiastic fan of Ty Lattimore he shared his appreciation of his star with me. Paul was close friends with a man who worked at an adult video store and had access to all sorts of films featuring “our” man, Ty! Paul introduced me to Ty who, in turn, aided and initiated my development into the maschalagnia maniac that I remain today!

A serious Ty Lattimore!

Ty Lattimore was a very popular gay porn actor who crossed racial audiences all over the world. Many heralded the fact that he was both African-American and very hairy, a trait not necessarily known to be typical. Unfortunately, my introduction to Ty Lattimore, courtesy of my friend Paul Turner, happened near the end of his career appearing live in the same gender loving film industry.

Sean Xavier: underarm majesty!

Sean Xavier:

Kory Mitchell is my “father” of hairy armpits, and Ty Lattimore inspired my admiration and appreciation for them; Sean Xavier laid the foundation for my obsession with them and to my maschalagnia itself! He fueled my interest in this anatomical delight and offered unlimited images of his own profusion of masculinity! Sean is not only an awesome role model for his displaying of his hirsute axilla, he is also a “hero” of every man’s right to defy grooming trends and to maintain his body hair in its “natural” abundance!

Sean Xavier actually introduced me to the term maschalagnia and explained what it meant. He publicly admitted to his preference of hairy armpits. I accepted the fact that I was now in the same league as an accomplished and noted celebrity!

Sean Xavier: body hair hero!

“Body hair – a little or a lot – is an aspect of the part of being manly. Like our nipples, penis and testicles, it is what makes us what and who we all are. Bisexual or gay, we know what is good for us!” ~ Sean Xavier ~ Same gender loving adult film actor

My friend, Paul Turner, often shared a dream of beginning our own local maschalagnia club for others who were as committed to furry underarms as we were – and even today, still are! However, we never had the necessary energy to organize ourselves.

Sean Xavier: hirsute and proud!

Our Spokes-model, Phoenix Fellington:

Phoenix Fellington, our spokes-model!

Phoenix has very healthy growths of both his armpit and pubic hairs. A man committed to nakedness, he prefers his body completely “natural” and has no interest nor intention of grooming or altering his body hair in any way! In his opinion, to do so is very “un-natural!”

“Posing naked is an ideal way to strengthen your body self-image and to impress others with your confidence and your pride!” ~ Phoenix Fellington ~

Phoenix: all natural!

As our official unofficial spokes-model here at ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers!, Phoenix has the distinct honour of introducing everyone to our site’s Maschalagnia III Marvels!

The late gay actor, Colin Black, actively opposed and campaigned against the porn industry’s arbitrarily mandating that actor’s must remove or shave their armpit and/or pubic hair. When questioned about this, he responded: “Why my opposition? Because these are the only two areas on my body where it grows. I’m naturally smooth everywhere else!”

On Clothes!

Clothes free, naturally!

On Clothes

by Kahlil Gibran

And the weaver said, “Speak to us of clothes.”

And he answered: “Your clothes conceal much of your beauty, yet they hide not the unbeautiful.

And though you seek in garments the freedom of privacy, you find in them a harness and a chain.

Would that you could meet the sun and the wind with more of your skin and less of your rainment?

For the breath of life is in the sunlight and the hand of life is the wind.

Some of you say,

“It is the north wind who has woven the clothes to wear.”

But shame was his loom,

and the softening of the sinews was his thread.

And when his work was done he laughed in the forest.

Forget not that modesty is for a shield

against the eye of the unclean.

And when the unclean shall be no more

what were modesty but a fetter and a fouling of the mind?

And forget not that the earth delights

to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.

Kahlil Gibran, 1913, author, philosopher, poet and visual artist!

In this poetic offering, Kahlil Gibran, shares with us his express appreciation of being bare (clothes free, naked, nude) and his distaste for the concealment of the human body with clothing. The “father” of bare practitioners!

He was born on 6 January 1883 in Bsharri, Lebanon, within what was then part of the Turkish Ottoman Empire. He emigrated to the United States with his mother and two sisters. He died in New York City on 10 April 1931, at the age of 48 years old.

In On Clothes he unashamedly extols his admiration and devotion to both the concept and practice of being completely bare, nakedness and natural at a time when the very idea of clothes freedom (nudity) was rarely discussed, shared or written about in “polite” – proper – society. We all, as today’s bare practitioners, owe to Kahlil Gibran an enormous debt of gratitude for enlightening our world to the magic and the majesty of being nude alone or socially with others. Without the beauty of his praise, this world would indeed be a very bland and drab world to reside upon!

Self portrait of Kahlil Gibran by Kahlil Gibran!

Gibran’s early death, due to severe liver infection brought on by his heavy consumption of alcohol, denied him the chance to witness the emergence of the same gender loving (SGL: bisexual or gay) culture that surfaced following World War II (1939 – 1945). Since his demise, there has been significant speculation about his own sexual preference. He had a very close woman supporter while living in New York City. However, their relationship was strictly platonic.

Aaron, my spouse and I both feel that the appeal and the fascination of nakedness is universally represented through the efforts and the works of Kahlil Gibran. His Middle East heritage instilled him with the desire and respect for clothes freedom that he brought with him when he emigrated to the United States. On Clothes has become an inspiring verse for clothes off!

We believe that the arrival of springtime brings the anticipation of being totally natural (bare) while enjoying nature. Gibran’s On Clothes reinforces those sentiments while reminding all of us of the awesome beauty of nakedness together!

Our Bad:

I’ll meet up with you tomorrow, here, and I’ll be bare, as usual, so we can all share the “bottoms-up!”

True Justice!

Prelude:

The Widow is the most recent novel released by celebrated author, John Grisham. I’ve been an ardent supporter of Grisham’s novels for years and yet again he has written another that I label as “favourite” – until he produces his next volume! My admiration for the author has increased as I have uncovered more about him than just his printed words!

The Widow

This is John Grisham’s current novel, released in December, 2025. This book is presented as his “first ever whodunit (who did it?) as a small time lawyer, accused of murder races to find the real killer to clear his name.”

Footnote #1: The Widow by John Grisham, bookcover explanation

The plot involves Simon Latch as a lawyer in rural Virginia, making just enough to pay his bills while trying to hold his family together. Then into his office walks Eleanor Barnett, an elderly widow in need of a new will. Apparently her husband left her a small fortune, and no one knows about it.

At first Simon can’t believe his good luck: He’s finally hooked (gained) a client rich enough to turn his life around. He works, quietly to keep her wealth under the radar (secret), but soon her story begins to crack (come apart). When she is hospitalized after a bad car accident, Simon realizes that nothing is as it seems, and he finds himself on trial for a crime he swears he didn’t commit: murder.

Simon knows he’s innocent. But he also knows the prosecutor’s circumstantial evidence could send him to prison for the rest of his life. As the trial progresses, he senses the jury turning against him and knows there is only one way to save himself.

Footnote #2: The Widow by John Grisham, publisher’s summary, bookcover

Difference:

The overwhelming majority of the fiction works of John Grisham are of the mystery/thriller variety. This particular one is his second dealing with the subject of wrongful imprisonment and or – in this case – wrongfully accused but not believed. This aspect is what increased my impression of Grisham as author.

He publicly acknowledges his active affiliation with the Innocence Project and with the Centurion Ministries, two national organizations in the USA that actively and aggressively provide legal efforts to overturn the convictions and records of those wrongly convicted of crimes they did not commit.

Even those who were executed for a crime they didn’t do. It doesn’t restore their life, but it does alter their legacy and clears their name. For many, that is more important than being released imprisonment!

This country has a despicable reputation regarding inequality in the justice system and of imprisoning those who did not break the law – especially those sentenced to death. This record needs to be addressed by both the legislative and the judicial branches of government and the leadership in this redress needs to be the executive branch of the government.

I commend John Grisham for his efforts in making others aware of this serious and unfair issue as well as his active participation in overturning the convictions of those judged wrongfully.

Seriously: Stand Tall! Plan To Vote!

Anticipating the November election day!

My spouse Aaron and I appeal to all for us to come together and to stand tall and united for everyone in order to return decency, equality, fairness, honesty, integrity, legitimacy and genuine concern to the corrupt, degraded, dishonest and deceitful USA government. Midterm elections to the Congress are scheduled for this upcoming November.

Please start planning now to cast your vote in November. The time is needed to enact change and return compassion and dignity to the USA.

Let us all work together to rid ourselves of all the bigots, criminals, and felons from government! We need to restore hope in the hearts, minds and souls of us all!

Together we need to make a difference!

Thank you!

Stand tall and proud!

Before we dissolve ourselves and unravel completely, we need to pause for a moment and look where we are now. A nation, a people: divided and adrift. There is no longer a national example to inspire, to motivate and to persevere in guiding us all to resolve and to share.

The healing and the recovery need to happen and action needs to be soon! In exercising our duty to vote, we can try to make it start in November!

Naked hugs!

A Penny For My Thoughts!

“Body hair and nakedness are compatible and natural. They compliment one another; like a rose blooming on a bush of roses.” ~ Aaron Michael Peterson-Poladopoulos ~ 28 March 2022

We are both gay men. You may see body hair as a thorn on your rose bush. I see body hair as accentuating my masculinity. We’re both gay men, we just happen to be different. You be you and I’ll be me! We can still live together in harmony.

The Hauntings!

The Bare Body Painted!

Here in the USA, the approaching time is the season of Halloween! It is the time of the year to celebrate the haunting horrors of the evils that cohabitate among us all. From witches, ghosts, goblins and all sorts of scary mysteries that somehow seem to infiltrate our imaginations. Though not an official holiday, the traditional date of 31 October, annually, is a time for scary spirits to soar once darkness descends upon us and frighten us into nightmares.

The horrific spirit in our heading has his body painted in an effort to conceal his bare practitioner identity and disguise his confident nakedness! His wooden club is his threat to beat his intended victims into submission or defeat – whichever fate he prefers.

However, he cannot disguise his same gender loving (SGL) status as he boldly reveals his maschalagnia (hairy armpit obsession) as he attempts to seduce his victim into compliance with his will!

Footnote #1: This collection of images is a classic that is featured here as an example of the Halloween craze that inspires many!

*************************

The Disguised!

With the mainstream society so obsessed with the preservation of modesty, many of our nakedness community and culture use this weakness as their means of ridicule of the “norms” of the majority! Imitating the textile (clothed) persons is one way of engaging the absurdity of the societal standards enacted against our community and our culture!

In all seriousness, the true reason for the Disguised mischievous “grin-om-his-chin?” His merriment in obnoxious absurdity of holding the textile fanatics in contempt of their useless theory of their mastery in modesty!

His secondary source of amusement is the reality that his skill is also readily available to anyone in possession of a jock-strap! This option is featured above with the bottoms-up! glorification of the economic triumph of a jock-strap over the expense of a top-hat!

Footnote #2: Using a top-hat to “disguise” (hide) his genitalia, our happy bare practitioner demonstrates for us all, the textile and the “natural” the ridiculous of the custom of covering and being unreal!

*************************

The Traditional!

The most recognizable symbol of the Halloween festivity is the pumpkin. In these images, the above bare practitioners are out with their “treat” bags soliciting treats from the houses in their neighbourhood. This custom is popular with the youth as they continue from door-to-door telling the homeowners that they are there to play a “trick” on them if they don’t provide them with a “treat!”

The pumpkin (above) is lounging in a group of hay with a shovel in order to frighten anyone approaching his residence by being “buried” in the hay if they try to intimidate him!

Footnote #3: For many persons, bare practitioner or otherwise, the festive Traditions are a favourite because they remind them of their youth!

*************************

The Commando-Freak!

The Commando costume is one SGL bare practitioner who prefers to conceal himself for Halloween in the commando style (absence of any type of underwear) while wearing pants – especially denim jeans! This scary creature then commits himself to exposure by bravely letting himself “hand loose” while freely absorbing the shocked reactions of his “proper” (clothes wearing) victims! Our Commando-Freak above has body-painted his penis in the rainbow colours of the GLBTQ+ movement!

The more sadistic of these “trickster” individuals occasionally force their prey to physically (manually) confirm their underwear freedom by caressing, exploring and/or fondling their “liberated” anatomy!

Footnote #4: Like it rough? These commando-committed “tough” guys will never allow their victims to forget the night they were made to endure such manual torture!

As honestly depicted in the above .gif image, the heartfelt dignity of the respective title: ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! is indeed of divine inspiration!

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Monday, October 27, 2025, and the proposed topic is: “October’s Bright Blue Weather!”

Spirit Day, 2025!

The colour purple represents “Spirit!

The purple stripe on the rainbow flag symbolizes the ideal: “Spirit!”

Spirit Day: an annual GLBTQ+ awareness day of recent development. It is currently observed on the third Thursday of the month of October as a part of our community and culture’s GLBTQ+ History Month. The occasion began in 2010 when a Canadian teenager, Brittany McMillan, in response to a significant number of bullying-related suicides of SGL students – the most infamous (at the time) being that of Tyler Clementi.

Footnote: Tyler Clementi was an American student at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey. He jumped to his death from the George Washington Bridge into the Hudson River at the age of 18. On September 19, 2010, Tyler’s dormitory roommate, Dharun Ravi, posted on Twitter a clip showing Tyler kissing another man. The Twitter posting was made and done without Tyler’s or his partner’s permission. The following night, Tyler committed suicide.

Tyler’s incident was publicised and the fact that his roommate intimidated him was newsworthy. Brittany McMillan became involved and promoted her “Purple Spirit Day” campaign through her facebook account. Reaction was both swift and widespread throughout North America. The Gay-Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) learned of Brittany’s crusade and joined with her as a sponsor of the event.

Stop Gay Bullying awareness ribbon!

GLAAD’s involvement brought national attention to the suicide prevention concerns and the need for anti-gay bullying initiatives. The level of attention the initiative attracted led to organised anti-bullying and especially anti-gay bullying activities and campaigns not only in North America but all over the globe. GLAAD’s participation ensured the problem would be addressed. Numerous universities adopted strong policies to combat and prevent any recurrence of Tyler Clementi’s action.

Promoted by GLAAD, participants wear the colour purple as a visible sign of awareness and support for GLBTQ+ young people specifically and against bullying in general. National Bullying Prevention Month in the USA is also during the month of October and additional attention and endorsements have prompted many persons to actively encourage others to become involved.

A secondary school teenager, Brittany has truly made a remarkable impact on the lives of many. The very first Spirit Day was held on Wednesday, 20 October 2010. The following year it was on Thursday, 20 October 2011 then followed by Friday, 19 October 2012. In2013, GLAAD made the decision to observe it on the third Thursday of the month.
