Radical Furries I mean /Faeries?
14 years ago
The first Radical Faeries came together in the summer of '79 in the south of California. A group dedicated to Queer Men and our spirituality, the early founders described us as "The shamans of our modern day."
Founding Faerie Mitch Walker claims that "because of its indigenous, gay-centered nature, the Radical Faerie movement pioneers a new seriousness about gayness, its depth and potential, thereby heralding a new stage in the meaning of Gay Liberation."
Each local group comes up with its own customs, traditions and pseudo-rituals. Spontaneity, gayness, beauty, playfulness and joy are emphasized greatly.
RadFae groups are formed all over the world, but there isn't yet one in Tampa Bay. I would like to open my home and backyard here in South Tampa to host small gatherings and see what we can get organized.
It is my dream to one day build a Sanctuary Community here in the bay area. I would like to either eco-furbish a warehouse or build an eco-village out near Plant City. That could be a long way off, however.
A note on discrimination: Anyone of legal adult age is welcome and no one will be turned away based on gender, orientation, religion, legal status, or race. So long as you understand that the group is a celebration of Queer Male Spirituality and will not ever change in that, you are welcome to stay. (So long as you don't don't cause sufficient drama as to be kicked the fuck out...)
