Keiynan Lonsdale posts naked picture to promote body positivity.

The openly gay actor – who recently starred in the hit LGBT movie Love, Simon – posted the naked selfie on Instagram over the weekend and despite admitting he isn’t confident with his body image, he said it feels good to show off to himself.

He captioned the picture: “Dance naked, lose followers, gain leaders

“***P.s. why is it deemed wrong to not wear clothes? We’ve been taught poorly, & groomed to hold shame for ourselves, our human bodies.

Dance naked, lose followers, gain leaders 💟☮️. | – ***P.s. why is it deemed wrong to not wear clothes? We’ve been taught poorly, & groomed to hold shame for ourselves, our human bodies. No matter what we look like, each of us is made to feel incorrect inside our own physical form, told that in order to survive & be a functioning, liked, & well respected person in society, we should hide this form from the world. That shit sounds whack to me. Now, I’m not at all at the confidence level to be neked in public lol, maybe one day i hope, but I’m sure as hell working on sharing & showing off my body to myself.. and it feels good.
