From: Free Beach Action Date: Thursday, 24 November 2005 7:05 AM Subject: Free Beach Update II NO OFFICIAL NUDIST BEACH: COUNCIL By Ian Gould Randwick City Council has voted to oppose efforts to make La Perouse's Little Congwong beach an official "clothing optional" bathing area. At a meeting on Tuesday night, the Council also said it would tell the state government current signs at the beach had failed to enforce lawful bathing. Local residents and naturists pushing for Little Congwong to become an official nudist beach have criticised those who visit the known gay pick-up area for sex. Sydney Star Observer, 23 November 2005 http://www.ssonet.com.au/display.asp?ArticleID=4871 Dear Friends and Supporters By the looks of it the fight has just begun. And we need the gay community to stand up and say: we support naturism and not sex on clothing optional beaches. It is now up to them to clean up their act and remove the various gay sex references to nude beaches. Gay or straight does not matter when one is in the nude - everyone is equal - as long as they behave. And 99 per cent do. Just watch out for the one per cent.
