Gay Naturists International states that their mission is "to serve as a resource to male naturists by hosting and sponsoring men's naturist events and providing information and resources to individuals and local clubs. In addition, GNI is a voice for gay naturists in wider naturist efforts to educate society about naturism and to advance the interests of naturists worldwide." Some might wonder why gay naturists need their own organization in a movement that talks about inclusivity and acceptance. Rick Johnson, GNI Executive Director, explains.
