Merry Meet Everyone!!!

For sometime I've been working on a book of rituals for pagans in the GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bi & Transgendered ) community. I've been looking for stories from people within the GLBT community on their experiences within the pagan community. Have they been positive or negative or both? For example, I have a friend of mine who is a FtM pre-operative transgendered man who has had primarily poor experiences within the mainstream pagan community in his area. They have insisted that he hold a female role within circle, because he was born female and therefore is female in energy. This however, is not the exactly true. Yes, he was born female, but, his energy is definately predominately male. This is what he is most comfortable with, and one of the main reasons he is having sexual reassignment. He may have been born physically female, however, he is definately spiritually and mentally predominately male, and thus feels he should hold a male position within the circle.

My partner Camerabear and I, have a group, the Tribe of the Rainbowbear, which is a GLBT pagan social group in Phoenix, AZ. and we do not follow th "norms" of mainstream circles. We allow members of our group to express whichever gender they are most comfortable with. I have lead rituals as both the High Priest and High Priestess, depending on who I was working with or what my personal energy was at the time. We believe that since each person has within them the spirit of the God and the Goddess, the energies of both, either sex can and should be able to wield either energy. Thus, we encourage and exalt people to be true to themselves without judging their appearance or how they dress, speak or act, as long as it is positve and uplifting to all within the group.

If any of you has any experiences that you would like to share with me, that I may use in my book, I would greatly appreciate it and love to hear of them.
