We all know this is not true. To us, sexuality is sacred, as is held by the Goddess in Nature and in our hearts. The media keeps spewing forth a microcosm of misinformation. We should involve the media to a great extent to make them aware of who we are and what we stand for. This could include public speeches, rallies, and awareness days, like Pagan Pride Day, all these being peaceful of course.
Awareness starts small, and builds to a larger effort.
For instance, every year since 1996, I participated in a youth leadership conference sponsored by the Governor's administration. Last November at the conference, I was on the panel for a workshop on acceptance. Now that I think about it, a subsection of the workshop could have dealt with acceptance of different religions. This conference's main focus is about substance-free teen lifestyles, but the planning committee seeks to expand the focus for the next conference. All major state newspapers and three major TV stations from the state cover this conference.
