I'm not interested in having to deal with someone's issues about people who aren't straight. And since most homophobes identify as straight, that detail is useful to me as a gay guy, although I don't automatically avoid straight people for that reason.
At the same time, I don't identify as gay in my profile, partly because I don't want to be written off immediately by a potential friend who might assume that's my only interest. Most of those who are interested enough in getting acquainted eventually ask if I am or I'm not and I'm glad to answer, and if they don't, I may mention it depending on the way the conversation is going. It's also a way to avoid being hit upon immediately by guys who assume I'm always/only open to sexual play.
So I realize I'm kind of saying I want it both ways -- I'm looking more closely at what exactly I'm uncomfortable about. I'm generally out in my actual life, although similarly cautious about declaring my orientation when and where that might be problematic.
so the other day having a nice conversation with a TN person who listed their orientation as straight when suddenly it moved into a sexual conversation and when I was surprised his comment back to me was "your profile said you where gay" so do all guys straight guys think because where gay we want sex??? why not have no labels just be people who enjoy being naked. don't get me wrong if something happens it does and as long as both parties are happy its fun...have a fun day naked day spring is coming cant wait to get outside
it should make no difference I am a gay male but am very comfortable naked with everyone, arnt we all here to find other nudist to hang and talk with. I have both straight and gay nudists friends, in fact I live with a straight man and we both are very comfortable naked with each other.
anyway that's my 2 cents. have a great naked day and lets all enjoy each other
Labels are so unimportant. I believe all of us on TN are here because we are comfortable with nudity. Whether a person is gay, straight, bi or otherwise should not make a difference in deciding whether to friend that person or not. I look for people with common interest not their sexual profile.
As long as people like to be naked, hang out, and can be comfortable with who they are, and our nude time together does not cause any issues, then orientation means nothing. A lot of people are on different places on the Kinsey scale, and that is the beauty of diversity.

that is a good question. Does not matter to me. It may matter to some. I think it matters to people more if they are not comfortable to be nude with others. Straight may not want to hang out with gay etc... but we people learn to accept themselves, orientation matters much less.
Doesn't bother me in the least. Essentially irrelevant as far as social nudism is concerned and totally irrelevant from a nudist lifestyle perspective. Common interests and shared values are far more important than sexual orientation.
