On April 15, 2018 the AANR-NW Board unanimously voted to reaffirm and describe the AANR Non-Discrimination policy as stated here. This was done to give a positive way to answer the questions posed by potential visitors about whether they would be welcomed at nudist clubs. For example, questions we have heard are whether they are too big or too old or they’re a single man. Being able to point to the website is an easy way to answer such questions in a positive way.
The AANR-NW Non-discrimination policy reads as follows:
AANR-NW reaffirms the AANR non-discrimination policy by-laws, Section I Article IV A, “AANR welcomes all people willing to conform to its principles and standards, regardless of age, gender, marital status, religious beliefs, ethnic origin or sexual orientation.” To AANR-NW this includes welcoming all single, partnered and married people of all gender identities, ethnicities, sexual identities, ages, sizes, religions and physical abilities.
Clubs will have the opportunity to also affirm this policy, They can let the region know and they will be listed on the regional website (http://www.aanr-nw.org/aanr-nw-welcomes-all/), with the policy, starting after June 15th.
