Becky: So pretty much, Paganism is very much about doing whatever makes you happy and doesn't hurt anyone else, really.
Gwen: It's very individualistic, os it's pretty much what you make of it. So morality and ethics are determined by you, most of the time. There's a lot of talk about making "Pagan Ethics" now, but there isn't really an overarching one, aside from "Don't harm anyone," like Becky said.
Kat: I think, even if there were an overarching moral code, homosexuality wouldn't even be an issue in Paganism, just from the nature of the religion.
Becky: And also, there's historically been a lot of glorification of the sacred nature of sexual contact. There's been documentation of hetero- and lots and lots of homosexual sacred sexual rituals and things like that.
Gwen: I think it's promoted in some of them even, in some Druid sects. I mean, every single Druid I met in the U.K. was a homosexual. (laughter) So, that kinda gives you an idea of how prevalent it is. Maybe it says something about Paganism, maybe it says something about homosexuals, the fact that it draws in those types of people, to certain brances even...
Kat: Well, yeah, it's somewhere that you can be accepted and you can practice freely so...
Gwen: And it's majority male too, so... (laughter)
Kat: (laughter) Well, yeah, Druids.
