- “All acts of love and pleasure are My rituals” (from The Charge of the Goddess by Doreen Valiente)
- Hence all forms of consensual sexuality are sacred (heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality, polyamory, SM, etc.)
- There are many LGBT Pagans
- There is plenty of evidence of celebration of homosexuality in ancient paganisms (ergi, Sappho, Antinous, etc.)
- The goal of alchemy and magic has always been to transcend gender and to achieve spiritual androgyny
- Queer theory is also beginning to have an impact on Pagan thinking about gender and sexuality
We shall strut across the world stage, spreading our message of freedom and equality and shameless sensuality. We will recover the sexual idyll of our race, restore the heathen hedonism of ancient days.
We will create fierce faggot warrior heroes in our fiction, vital and virile as the gay gods and great queers of the old myths - Apollo and Dionysius, Adonis and Heracles. Yea, even as the oldest of them all, great Gilgamesh, had his little furry fuck-buddy, Enkidu...
