In talking with activists in the GLBT community about what advice they have for the Pagan community in our fight for equal treatment I've decided to launch a project. An International Pagan Coming Out Day on each May 1st. Similar to the National Coming Out Day that the GLBT community sponsors, it would a day to encourage and support those Pagans who are ready to come out of the (broom) closet. A day to honor those who are already out. And a day to acknowledge those who are still closeted due to fear of physical harm.

We have taken so many steps forward in this battle and we need to take a day to celebrate that and celebrate those who are actively working to help all Pagans secure their rights. To learn about what we still need to do and how we can get involved.

Finally, a day to raise awareness of Paganism among the general populace and give a familiar face to the Pagan rights movement.
