The Freedom to be Yourself

The Freedom to be Yourself

The Freedom to be Yourself campaign (TFTBY) or (FTBY) was founded in 1998 by Vincent Bethell. The group, according to Vincent Bethell is about "the right to be naked in public". Supporters of the TFTBY organized several grassroots naked protests in public in London; there have also been protests in Brighton, Bristol, Birmingham, Coventry, and some in the United States. The group used the Yahoo! group "stopsegregation" to organize its events, until it was deleted on July 1 2006 at Vincent's request due to Yahoo classifying it as Erotic Adult content rather than Human Rights.Fact|date=July 2007
