Nudity vs. Prudity

A friend shared the following invitation to a free online discussion from OutProfessionals (which bills itself as "the nation's leading LGBTQ nonprofit networking organization") with me, so I'm passing it along to y'all:


"The iconic statue of David is probably the most famous male nude image in the world--which is probably why it worries simplistic, repressive culture warriors. ... This talk--'Michelangelo's David: The Enduring Battle of Nudity vs. Prudity'--will delve into the tradition of male nudes from which it derives, as well as the LGBTQ+ culture of the Renaissance, especially in Florence." It takes place via Zoom this Sunday, April 30, at 2 p.m.
