Naked in the Street Today.

Walking through the Castro today I couldn't help but notice that most of my homeless friends have disappeared. It could be the weather, but given the strong police presence in the past several days, I doubt it. Walking down Castro Street in my usual attire, the single homeless man I saw, who was shirtless, asked me about my nakedness, saying he wished he could be naked. I explained it was not illegal. He asked about indecent exposure. I told him of the California Supreme Court ruling which stated that mere nudity is not indecent. He told me to keep standing up for my rights. Further up the street, yelled at me from a passing SUV, "Put on some pants, you're fucking gross!"

You, my dear, are anything but gross. It is sad that there are those who refuse to understand beauty and freedom, not to mention the joy of self-expression.

Thoughtfully,

Drew

Thank you darling. I always think it interesting that the people with the least to lose support me and those with the most hate me (generally speaking).

I agree with both of you. Would love to walk down the street with you Woody. Nude of course.
