To allow public nude/clothing-optional beaches in Michigan

At this point, there are no public nude beaches here in the state of Michigan. Public nudity is prohibited here in our state, and I would like to see to it that a public nude beach can be designated so nudists/naturists in our great state can enjoy being bare without getting in trouble for breaking the law for indecency. Being the an abundant state for outdoor activity (being the Great Lakes state and having so many other great inland lakes and hiking trails and such, so much great outdoor activity in our state), there is so much potential. Michigan seems like the right place to allow at least a few public nude attractions/beaches - there is so much you can do in the great outdoors, and you can do it just as well naked as you can clothed. There is really nothing sexual about nudity, in fact naturism has its benefits - building up confidence, health benefits, etc. I want our government to see that we are not out to make trouble, we're just normal people, and just by enjoying the outdoors the way we were naturally created should not have to get us in to trouble. It should be our right to freely express ourselves as human beings. Just as the LGBT community were able to be better accepted by society, so can we. We're just normal people too who like to live life in our most natural state.
