Oh and I very much agree with the soul having no gender, beautifully said.

Welcome Jacinda. It is hard to connect with like people...try living in Utah and being gay and pagan (lol) but there are good people everywhere, and you live in an AWESOME city! Actually most of my good friends left Utah and went to Seattle. Keep looking, you will find them.

Jacinda
that is very true
the soul has no gender
only love

Aine
i agree
i dont understand how some people can believe
that people can be sent to hell for LOVE and nothing else
ridiculous

A human lightbody may have gender, but for a soul that lives for an eternity, is created on solely love, everything is created from love. Life would cease to exist.
Its really nice to see some gay people on here, I have yet to connect with anyone on a spiritual level in my city that is gay, really... Havent connected with anyone here. People just think Im weird, and crazy. But I am far from it.

I feel so bad for gays and lesbians that hold on to their christian views and fear their god and their damnation. My makers made me who I am, what I am, and led me down the path that I have journied. This is me, this is who I am and I know I am loved and I will not go to hell for it. I have not purposely harmed another person on my journey so there for I have nothing to fear. I am so happy that my daughters believe the same way, despite their very mormon relatives trying to teach them otherwise. My daughters know that we make our own "heaven" and that we will be together always.

hello all
i am the daughter of a femme
this plays a big role in how i grew up because our family was not like "other families"
my mother never pushed religion on me
and i never knew what to believe when i was young
i tried to be a christian
because my friends and everyone else said that i would go to hell if i wasnt...
and so would my mother..
it never felt right. i was lying to myself.
but then i started thinking about it, why would "god" make my mother this way if it was wrong? it doesnt look like an abomination... it looks like love.
why would you be damned to hell for love?
and why would "god" damn a 10 year old me to hell for not knowing?
one of my best friends wasnt allowed to come over to my house anymore.
her christian mother said, "i wouldnt be a good mother if i allowed my daughter to be exposed to that"
why? whats wrong? i didnt understand.
i knew i wasnt christian. but what was i? i went searching. reading and learning about all different religions. it was interesting but finally, FINALLY, something clicked. Wicca. i wasnt bad for feeling the way i do
wasnt taught to fear my god
wasnt told my mom and i were damned to hell
wasnt wrong for everything my family is
it was such a beautiful feeling
acceptance

@Donna, so sorry to hear about your friend hon. I cant believe the bigotry and hatred that still exists in this world and in this country. I think I had started to think that it was all getting better, but it recently became very obvious with Prop 8 that not much has really changed at all. Very sad.

Hello Everyone and welcome. Nice to know I am not the only rainbow pagan around here. I am 40 years old, a femme lesbian. I came out when I was 19, but did find myself in love with and married to a man for 8 years. After we divorced I went back to dating women. I have been with my partner for 4 years, and my only regret is that I did not find her sooner in life...but everything for a reason, right? I met her when the Goddess ready for me to meet her. I do have 2 lovely daughters as the result of my marriage, and they are the most open minded and well adaptet children I could ever ask for. But then again they have always been exposed to alternative lifestyles. My exhusbands dad is also gay. So it has always just come natural to them. My youngest daughter (15) considers herself to be pansexual.
How do I feel my sexuality affects my approach to being pagan??? Well, I can say this...I found my sexuality and paganism right around the same time, they have kind of gone hand in hand for me. See before I came out, I was Mormon, (not a real accepting faith for a lesbian) I found paganism to be far more accepting of me and my lifestyle. I dont know how to explain it, I think the Goddess really made herself be known to me just when I started to get really disappointed with christianity. She knew I needed a different path and she showed it to me.
