I stumbled on the videos for the We Give A Damn campaign. The videos feature wellknown singers, actors, actresses... well, see for yourselves:
Having been more or less openly bisexual since my mid-teens, and openly lesbian since almost a year back – although I might for some reasons more aptly call myself queer, but that's for another post – LGBT rights and true equality lie very close to my heart, privately as well as politically.
I'm sad that at this day and age, in the 21st century, people are still being persecuted, fired, discriminated against, abused, condemned, beaten, and murdered for their sexual orientation. Hate crimes are still a fact. A group of people, our sisters and brothers, are denied the rights many people take for granted – the rights to marry, have children, live with their partner in peace and acceptance – just for who we love. If we are ever to achieve equality, this must change.
Equality matters. Who I love shouldn't matter. I give a damn. Do you?

June Circle of Light
I've just added a Circle of Light page to the blog for the monthly Circle of Light ceremonies that I post on the e-mail list Avalon Yearning and the Facebook group Tuatha de Avalon, hosted by my Circle Sister Elle.
On that page you can find more information about the Circle of Light, and I will then post information about each month's circle here as they come.
The Circle of Light is held the first Wednesday of every month.
On that page you can find more information about the Circle of Light, and I will then post information about each month's circle here as they come.
The next circle is on the 2nd of June.
The purpose of this circle is to connect us all and to connect to the Healing and Lifegiving flame of Goddess. To send a circle of healing light into the world. This is done in whatever way feels right for you.
The connection to the Circle of Light starts at 6 pm local time and goes until 6 am the following morning. Please light a candle and tap into the web of energy that we create with our participation. No matter when you connect, or for how long, the presence of our collective spirits and Goddess will be there.
For the June Circle of Light, let us embrace change and transformation. It is time to break down the barriers of past wounds, fears, and outdated views of "who you are". It is time to shed the old skin and let the new one be seen in the light of our inner fire.
Let our hearts and minds be transformed by the flames of love, let the purple flame of Avalon guide us through the wounded places, so that we may step into our truth and beauty. Let us reclaim our Truth, our Beauty, our Power; let us gather our strength and break the chrysalis so that we may spread our wings, fly free and reveal our true beauty.
Join in this Circle of Light and weave a web of love that will transform us and the world we live in. Shine the light of Avalon, and let it reflect in your light!
Blessed be
Lisa
