GLBT Coven

No way! I am gay myself and I don't want to be isolated from everybody else! I have never felt bad about my sexuality on this website and I don't want to be part of such coven. It has nothing to do with magic, it is irrelevant and useless. Plus LGBT are part of the society so they can be part of it, they don't have to separate themselves. I don't think it is such a great idea..

I personally don't think its necessary. I say this because there are many, and I mean many, including myself GLBT people on here. GLBT people fit into our current covens perfectly, many of whom are in leadership positions. Practitioners can't care less what someone's sexual preference is. We are here to practice and or study different religions, traditions and practices. I don't think it has or ever will be a problem here :)

Secondly, I think creating a coven for GLBT members is reverse discrimination. We are all equal in society today, our past, our inequality has been gone away with. If one starts a coven whereby only certain members are allowed, it can constitute as reverse discrimination on the grounds of sexual preference. We will then be discriminating againsts heterosexual people.

Therefore, I don't think this is a good idea :)

The original post in this thread is three years old.

And I will mention again that Petrarca, the Site Administrator, has decided that there are already sufficient Covens on SOM and that no new ones will be permitted. So arguning over whether or not to have such a coven here is kind of pointless.
