This must be the reductio ad absurdum of the hate laws, since, when does it stop? Race? Sex? Gender? Well, what about nudists?

“You may think the biggest threat to nudists would be some sunburn or pesky insect bites in the height of summer. But naturists say they are increasingly facing abuse - and now want to be protected under hate crime laws. British Naturism, which represents about 9,000 nudists, wants the right to get naked in public to be recognised as a 'philosophical belief' in the eyes of the law. Its president, Mark Bass, told the Mail on Sunday they were lobbying for the change 'so we are not abused in our day-to-day lives. These days we all agree that shouting abuse at somebody because of the colour of their skin, their sexual preference or their religion is not acceptable. Yet naturists still receive that type of abuse based on their dress code. We are not asking that people should be forced to be naked. 'But everybody should have the freedom to choose how they dress, including if that choice is to wear nothing at all.' And writing on British Naturis's website, he added: 'Despite attempting to avoid confrontation, it is not uncommon for a naturist to receive abuse from a neighbour or when out walking. 'You would be upset if somebody shouted abuse or threatened you because they did not like the colour of your shirt - we would prefer not to receive such abuse for not wearing a shirt.' Last March, hundreds of people protested against a nude children-and-adult swimming session in Stoke-on-Trent, claiming it would attract paedophiles. And Dr Bass said one naturist recently had a dog set on him, adding: 'We are now moving from hate speech into actual physical attacks.'
The problem is that the right of nudists stands in conflict to people holding other views, such as religious modesty, once in Christianity, but certainly seen in the moral standards of Islam. But, that is just the problem with diversity and multiculturalism, only the diverse really count and have rights.
