Double Standards

Gays accused of Christian-bashing

(ReligionAndSpirituality.com March 7, 2008)

Rev. Gary Cass of the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission condemned a mock "Mass" performed by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a group of transvestites in San Diego, Calif., who dress up as nuns, Christian Newswire reported Friday.

"What would homosexuals say if Christians mocked homosexuality by dressing up like flamboyant homosexuals and gathered monthly to burn rainbow flags? The Christians would be accused of being hateful bigots. Yet, every month homosexuals gather for a drunken 'Mass' while dressed in drag as nuns. This is Christian bashing pure and simple, yet no one condemns it. You have to be willfully ignorant to miss the double standard."

On Jan. 28 the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence sent out a press advisory promoting "Sisters Saturday Night Mass." According to their release, the group will present a "Leather Mass" March 8. "Come dressed in your most 'SINFULL' Leather Fetish Wear. We have hot music... lots of irreverent Sister fun on stage, and just when you're pumped up from dancing, The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence will present our Confessional Contest, with prizes for the 'Hottest' confession!" the release said.

"Ironically, the homosexual community says they want the church to affirm their sexual behavior and then say nothing when Christ and Christianity are desecrated," said Cass.
