Justice Voelker of the Michigan Supreme Court wrote a great opinion
about this issue in the 1950s -- a decision which essentially legalized
private nudist camps in Michigan.  (State police invaded a private nudist
camp near Battle Creek and arrested everyone, mainly on the notion that
minors were present; the state supreme court threw out the convictions.)

Mark Foley is a fascinating case himself: a conservative Republican
politician who has always been widely known in Florida political circles
to be a gay man.  He openly attends events with his male partner, and is a
regular at gay bars and nightclubs in Florida and in Washington.  However,
only recently has this been mentioned in the press.  Foley, who is a
candidate for a U.S. Senate seat next year, has reacted angrily to what he
sees as an infringement on his privacy.

But how much privacy can a US Senate candidate in a large state really
expect, over a personal issue he has never bothered to conceal before? 
The debate rages on in both the straight and gay media.

Funny time for him to blast the nudists.
