I've been skeptical of photographer Spencer Tunick's nude gatherings in the past, but there is something poetic about "Grand Spectrum," staged on July 26 in the Canary Islands. The performance consisted of over 400 nude people, all painted the colors of the Pride flag, standing in Santa Ana square in front of the home of the Spanish territory's bishop. The clergyman, for his part, was utterly unbothered, telling El País, “Cuando vamos a la playa vemos cuerpos desnudos, ¿no?" ("When we go to the beach we see naked bodies, don't we?"). Say it louder for the bigoted bishops in the back. (photo David Delfour/AFP via Getty Images)
