Summary
Nudists in the UK are legally equated to sexual exhibitionists and face prosecution using various laws. While nudists seek equality under the law, their freedom to practice non-sexual public nudity is constrained by legal and societal attitudes. The conflict centers around the balance between individual rights and societal expectations, with some nudists advocating for incremental change through dialogue and public opinion surveys.
