10 Reasons Why Pride Month is Important

By Gay, ThinkingNo Comments

Here are 10 reasons why Pride Month is important:

10. It allows LGBT people to be visible and celebrated as part of society. This is great for young people who are LGBT. It gives them hope and positive role models.

9. It helps to create safe spaces for LGBT people to be themselves. Without the risk of verbal or physical attack.

8. It helps bring the community together, as LGBT are a minority group.

7. It raises money for LGBT people with HIV or who have been made homeless due to being an LGBT person.

6. It allows businesses, public institutions/organisations and charities the opportunity to show their support to the LGBT community. In the past, some of these organisations may have treated LGBT people appallingly.

5. It is an opportunity to remember the LGBT people that came before. Those that campaigned for the rights that LGBT people have today.

4. It is an opportunity to show others that what we all have in common. What brings us together as a society.

3. It is an opportunity for our straight allies to celebrate with us.

2. LGBT people still face disproportionately high health issues, such as issues with poor mental health and addictions.

1. We still haven’t got equality for LGBT people in the UK yet. Never mind globally.

Mad Busy

By Life4 Comments

I’ve had three dreams recently. The first people I know rushing around with a lot of preparations, I see things indicating a celebration: ballons, music, cleaning, but all seemed mad busy. When I thought about it and how it relates to my life I realised this:

I am going to be mad busy until January. Work is busy as always. My University course (see Back to University) is stepping up a gear or two involving: several workshops, an exam and two three thousand word assignments all due before January. And in my personal life practically every weekend until the end of December is being booked up with occassions (seeing friends, my Psychic Party / Home Warming, Christmas parties, etc.). The celebration indicates that it will be worth it in the end, so that’s positive.

So expect less blogging than normal my friends, family, random visitors, etc. I will intend to blog at least once a week to keep you all informed of my life as best I can.

As for the second and third dream, they have both involved me being shown round new apartments. Now regular readers will know that I recently bought an apartment (see The Move) that I love. The dreams don’t mean I’m moving again, simply: New beginings. So I’m excited about the thought of new beginings. New man in my life? New opportunities at work? Who knows.

This week I’ve bought a witches broom I didn’t need it. But it smells of cinnamon and looks quite at home in my hall way. The apartment is feeling more and more homely all time time. Here’s a photo of my witches broom:

Samhain Ritual, goes well

By Life, PaganismNo Comments

As you know Samhain is a pagan’s Christmas and New Year rolled in to one. Simon, Chrys and I had planned to do a group ritual together but it was canceled as Simon had to work (waking nights – awe!).

So David (see attractive stranger, elephant cups & tatton park, a poem posts) and I prepared and completed ritual.

What’s Samhain about?
1. Celebration of a good harvest – Thanking the god, goddess and mother earth for a fruitful harvest.
2. The equinox – Recognising the god’s days are coming to an end as the crone goddess sits on the throne for the winter period. Nature going in to hibernation to sleep out the cold, winter, months.
3. A time of remembrance – Celebrating and remembering the lives of those that have moved on to the astral plane, or above.
3. The veils between the physical and astral are thin – A time to communicate with those that inhabit the astral plane or travel there (via astral travel).

The ritual went well with both David and I inputting in to the planning and execution of it.

Write soon,

Antony
