Pagan Pride, Inc wishes to clarify the following:1) The event in Fayetteville is not an official PPP, Inc-sponsored event. PPP, Inc claims no trademark over the term 'Pagan Pride Day'; therefore events may exist that are not part of the Pagan Pride Project. This is one of those independent events. It has no formal connection with the Pagan Pride Project, Incorporated.2) The Pagan Pride Project, Inc, has no official stance on banning individual speakers or presenters on a national or international basis save those documented in our Event Policies ( http://www.paganpride.org/do/eventpolicies.html (http://www.paganpride.org/do/eventpolicies.html)) and our Code of Ethical Conduct (http://www.paganpride.org/do/ethics.html (http://www.paganpride.org/do/ethics.html)). As a volunteer-driven organization, much of our decision-making is made at the local level, and we trust our volunteers to select speakers, presenters, and events that are appropriate for a family-friendly, politically neutral, and all-inclusive public event. 3) Effective immediately, the Pagan Pride Project specifically prohibits the harvesting of volunteer and Local Coordinator emails from our website for the purposes of mass spam emailing. (Yes, we realize there isn't much we can do if people do this, but we can at least state our official prohibition of the practice). On a personal note, I accept and understand that the Frosts are at the least controversial figures based on some of their older writings, and at the most many Pagans find them to be unacceptable representatives of the community in any capacity. In the long run, I trust my Local Coordinators to have common sense about such things; I already know they have passion, enthusiasm, and an unflinching desire to make the world a better place for everyone, Pagans and non-Pagans alike. If anyone has any questions, I encourage them to contact me directly.Dagonet DewrExecutive Director, Pagan Pride Projectdagonet.dewr@gmail.com (mailto:dagonet.dewr@gmail.com) News - Global Tue, 28 Aug 2007 19:42:22 +0100 http://mid-atlantic-ppp.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=18&Itemid=3 News - Global Wed, 02 May 2007 06:24:26 +0100 http://mid-atlantic-ppp.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=17&Itemid=3 Settlement In Americans United Lawsuit Comes After Discovery Of A Pattern Of Bias Against Minority FaithThe Bush administration has conceded that Wiccans are entitled to have the pentacle, the symbol of their faith, inscribed on government-issued memorial markers for deceased veterans, Americans United for Separation of Church and State announced today.The settlement agreement, filed today with the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin, brings to a successful conclusion a lawsuit Americans United brought against the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) in November.

I may have – no, I'll guarantee I did – miss people, especially in the Pagan section. For that, I apologize in advance. As always, first and foremost I turn the wheel for those who have been killed in armed conflict, famine, natural disasters, stupid politics, or acts of cruelty. I also turn the wheel for anyone who died alone and unmourned, so that they may have one person who wishes them well.
