Should naturists be allowed to go naked in public areas?

The above question was asked to the It-Your-Vote community.

We provided additional information for the question which was:

"A nudist is someone who prefers not to wear clothes and believes in the freedom to choose whether or not to wear clothes. British naturists include 9,000 nudists who want the right to be naked in public accepted as a 'philosophical belief' in the eyes of the law. At the moment the law protects somebody from abuse because of the colour of their skin, religion or sexual preference, but this does not protect naturists from abuse because of their dress code. Should the law be changed to protect them from abuse. Or, do you think that it is unacceptable to naturists and that they have a choice whether to become one or not and that the public also needs to be protected from alarm or distress.".

The available answers for this questions were:

1. No-it is unacceptable to be naked in public

2. Yes-they should be allowed to be naked in public
