20230917 Visiting temples in Taipei, Taiwan. Going to visit the Temple of the Rabbit God. Getting started here.
Update on effort. What will be doing next.
Subscriptions are free.
Membership increase from 5 to 29.
Since the post about the sculpture the membership has gone from 5 to 29. So we are getting started.
When you share a post we have the opportunity to increase membership.
For subscribers outside the North Texas area, I think this newsletter will be of use to see what we do and what works and doesn’t work in getting organized. Some of our actions will be successful and some will fail and subscribers can learn from our experience.
We really need to get some type of organizing underway.
Where we are on the Internet
On Facebook the group is at:

Getting Started
The base of the statue needs to have handles installed in the base so it can be carried by people to move it. It is 110 pounds. We will need something made to carry it in Pride Parades.
I need to identify a space for our first events and have outreach here locally in Dallas.
I will be publishing an activity/ritual for the first events to get started. I need to start having activities on the ground.
I will get started once I have returned from Taiwan.
We need to choose music for the events. I need to have suitable dress for the events. I need to get localities.
I also need to have some protective gear for the statue itself when it is transported. I am thinking of a giant sleeping bag so it can be moved without being damaged.
I will be publishing my idea on getting started with events and occasions to get the effort underway.
Visiting the Temple of the Rabbit God in New Taipei City and other temples.
I will be visiting Taipai, Taiwan in October. I will be visiting the Temple of the Rabbit God there and seeing what they do.

I have made up some street maps where I marked where temples are. I will be visiting about two dozen temples to learn what they do, get photo documentation.
I will be posting pictures to this Substack account and to the Facebook group and twitter also.
Penis God Temple.
Update: I found out that it doesn’t exist anymore.
I also identified a temple to the “Penis” God outside Taipei in the country and I hope to visit it also and get pictures. I found this English language website on the temple.

With some sluething I was able to locate it on Google maps.
The following is a picture of the temple I found on Google maps.
I will be taking action to getting the temple started locally here when I get back.
I plan on visiting Thailand in 2024 to learn from the different Gay religious groups there also.
