Pagan band demands 'quiet area for sex'
A pagan rock band is demanding a "quiet area for fornication" during a summer solstice celebration in Birmingham.
The event, billed as a family fun day out, has been condemned by the Church of England, reports the Birmingham Evening Mail.
Headliners Inkubus Sukkubus demanded the "fornicatorium" at the event, which is being held to mark the longest day of the year.
Managers at the Custard Factory venue confirmed a quiet area would be provided for the group, fronted by female vocalist Candia.
A spokesman said: "They said they needed a quiet fornicatorium. They say it is a fertility rite. The singer goes into a trance-like state. We don't quite know what will happen once the frenzied activity begins."
Druids from across the country will descend on the Custard Factory for the celebration, which is billed as a perfect day out for the whole family, on Saturday.
Rhiannon Biddulph, of the UK Pagan Association, said: "There are certain festivals were we celebrate the creation of life where you have to have sex. Most pagans have a fairly relaxed attitude to sex."
But a spokesman for the Church of England in Birmingham said: "It seems the Druids have overdosed on the magic mushrooms when arranging this event. It beggars belief that this kind of tackiness and tawdriness is being promoted as a cultural family event."

It beggars belief that this kind of tackiness and tawdriness is being promoted as a cultural family event.Couldn't the same be said about some of the liberalised policies of the Church of England (so-called)?

The event ... has been condemned by the Church of England But merely on grounds of bad taste and bad form. They apparently have absolutely no moral objections.

Looks like it's not just gays at the park you have to worry about. Better get your placards and hop a flight to England.

"There are certain festivals were we celebrate the creation of life where you have to have sex."Imagine the Christian church taking on that atittude. No wonder the Church has so many hang-ups concerning sex. It is trying to distance itself from Paganism.
Sex is baaaad for your soooouuul. ;)

"We don't quite know what will happen once the frenzied activity begins." Yeah. Right. Haven't got a clue what will happen.

Managers at the Custard Factory venue confirmed a quiet area would be provided for the group, fronted by female vocalist Candia. This is incredibly ambiguous and bad writing. Is Candia fronting for the managers at the Custard Factory? Is she fronting for the quiet area? Is she fronting for the band?

The kiddie nude ranch at Land o' Lakes Florida would be PROUD to host this event, I'm sure. I swear it seems like end times.
