LINK IN BIO ✍️ @richiegoff In Louisville, men’s nudist groups like Kentuckiana Gay Nudists (KGN), Gymnos (nude yoga), and Nude Dudes offer a space for body acceptance and liberation. These communities, founded in the 1980s, encourage men to embrace their bodies without shame, challenging societal norms and fostering camaraderie in environments where vulnerability and authenticity are celebrated.

⁠
After their running and walking, which can range from two to six miles, they cool down by getting coffee or dinner together. For them, it’s much more about staying active. It’s about making a difference for queer people throughout Lexington and Kentucky.⁠
⁠
Since its infancy in the 1980s, Frontrunners Lexington, a LGBTQ+ running and walking group has built up a community of queer people, while also giving back to the community.

⁠
Trans Americans are being targeted under a presidential administration that is hostile to their very existence. To counter this dehumanization, Rood said, trans leadership is key. Empowering trans people is an antidote to the divisions that politicians create for their own gain, she said: If more trans people run for Congress, get involved in their local school board, create art, lead scientific research or do community service, these actions create stronger community bonds that enable more people to understand what trans experiences are like.
