"There are valuable things to be gained from pursuing respectability: Respectability means being able to share our beliefs with our friends and neighbors openly — not just on the Internet. Respectability means our children can be raised Pagan openly, without fear of interference by well-intentioned, but misinformed social workers and courts. Respectability means being able to be openly Pagan in the workplace. Respectability means being a greater part of the inter-faith movement. Respectability means having more influence in theological studies. Respectability means having greater influence on critical social and political issues that concern us, including the environment, women's rights, minority rights, animal rights, and so on. Respectability means power … power to bring about change according to our collective will. And that is a kind of magic that all Pagans should be interested in."
