The unusual defence of a Christian nudist

From here:

A self-described Christian naturist arrested for passing through a Tim Hortons drive-thru in the buff was not completely nude, his lawyer argued in a court in Bracebridge, Ont., on Monday. Brian Coldin was wearing sandals, Clayton Ruby pointed out, and he was on or near his own property and he never behaved in a “prurient or indecent manner.”

Mr. Coldin’s argument that he wasn’t nude because he was wearing sandals is a little like a bald man claiming he is not bald because he has a moustache.  Coldin might be better served by pointing out that every year homosexual men prance with impunity down Yonge Street completely starkers as an expression of the pride they have in being gay. If they can get away with it, why can’t he?
