The Gay Naturist E-former / Informer / BuffBuzz Blog

GNI values the editorial and photo contributions by its members and the public; we encourage everyone to submit content and photos to GNI for inclusion in our monthly publication. GNI is also sensitive to the concerns people may have regarding the use of their name in articles and photo credits and we will exercise our best efforts in maintaining a level of anonymity for everyone. Thus, anyone who submits an article or photo will have their name redacted to their first name followed by the first initial of the last name, e.g. “John Smith” would read as “John S.” All names in our publication will be amended to reflect this policy unless the author, photographer and/or person(s) named in the article has given his express, written permission to use his full name. Contributors may also opt to use a pen name if they choose. It is the responsibility of the editors of the E-former to monitor and enforce this policy. Furthermore, this privacy policy extends to everyone including Board, Staff, and Volunteers of the organization.

Google reCAPTCHA

For enhanced security, GNI has implemented reCAPTCHA v2 on our site; the use of reCAPTCHA v2 is subject to the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
