First Entry

Well, as you can see by the title, this is my first entry. It's been a quiet day, being the last day of Janterm. We've been discussing sexual orientation, and we finished by discussing "Stone Butch Blues" by Leslie Feinberg. That is, emotionally, a very tough book to read. Jess, the main character, has to go through so much drama, I'm suprised she isn't tramatized. The discussion of this book brought up some tough thoughts for me. I have currently not come out of the broom closet, except to a few close friends that are wiccan or pagan as well. I am very worried about coming out of the closet to my family. At worst, my situation would be that I would get kicked out of the house and/or the preacher would try to preform an exorcism. That causes me some amounts of anxiety. But I've taken some comfort in the reading I just started. Along with just finishing "Stone Butch Blues", I've started to read "Full Contact Magick" by Kerr Cuhulain. I highly recommend this book, and I highly recommend this author. He uses a mix of Eastern ideas mixed with Celtic influences. It is an interesting combination. Well, that's it for now.
