I'm not gay and I'm against gay bullying but wouldnt this be counter productive, i.e making gay/lesbian etc people be almost cast out and have to have their own group, haha do you see what I mean?
It isn't casting them out or isolating them, in my opinion. It's giving them a place where they can gather with common interests and give them a place where they can talk about that sort of thing.
I am Homosexual and I am a Hectite who worships the Goddess Hecate I was born on February 8th which is considered to be the day of Precognition. There is no need to create a GLBT coven because the old religion does not follow Christian beliefs and in the eyes of society our faith and practise is wrong by the Bible stand point so as practitioners of magic we carry a similar discrimination from closed minded individuals. This should bring us closer together instead of separating us. We invoke both male and female deities and the both work together as a whole.
I am excited to see this, but in SoM we usually don't make covens, that's certain people's jobs.
However, this is a good idea but... the thing is were all supposed to teach different things, yes bringing like minded people will help, but will you able to handle some views in thus, or disagreement if you make a coven like this?
I don't see this as a good idea. There are many who are still questioning gender, while others only learning about there being any difference. I don't believe it a good idea to separate, as it has nothing in benefit to learning about magick. I am not against anyone or anybody, no matter what on this subject, but I just don't believe it to be good idea. There are too many real life problems to cause separation in the world, why create one in the magickal community?
There certainly are covens who are open to LGBT/etc, communities (I am a part of it) and I do think it could be a good idea if some folk were to have a coven with a focus on identity and how it works in magic. I feel it really couldn't hurt to share information about such matters and when it comes to the LGBT/etc. communities, a place of refuge is very important as we don't always get that in our daily lives. In a sense, that is what many people use this site for when it comes to magic. A place of refuge.
I don't encourage to make this coven.Why?Because if a beginner on this site read this post,he will think that other covens discriminate people and for that the site had a coven special for gay etc.
Every coven is open for people.Every coven don't discriminate people by color of skin or other things.
If a person says they like brunette hair, does that mean everyone who does not say they like brunette hair hate or is "against it"? No.
It boils down to is that people are against is the site making an LGBT/etc. coven which can't happen in the first place because no new covens are made. Quite frankly, it's not anyone's business to tell people they can't incorporate that into existing covens, make their own website, or privately acknowledge a group of people who are open to it.
