Hi, I am a very out and open pagan/witch, just as I am very openly gay. It just doesn't make sense, to me, to live my life keeping secrets that are this important. Why should I have to hide when christian rhetoric and dogma are constantly being tossed around, and even at me, as 'normal' and accepted. I do know that there are many who do not have the luxury of being 'out' so, I think it's even more important that those of us who can be, are...

I agree with YamzTamz's comments...but I wanted to emphasize the part about not needing others to necessarily APPROVE of your choice. If you understand what you believe and you can discuss it with others in a civil manner, it really shouldn't matter whether they approve. The worst issues I have seen came from folks who had intolerant or extremist Christian supervisors. Be careful to document problems and seek the support and advice of others in minority faiths to help navigate your particular minefield. I am glad you are able to come out of the 'broom closet' and wish you the best!
