If you seek respect, you need to give it too!
This is a "Hot Potato" subject and I don't mean the 'hot potato' video released by CCTV (China Central TeleVision) making it's rounds on YouTube showing the six Chinese soldiers of the PLA (Peoples' Liberation Army) tossing a live hand grenade around.
Today I will be commenting on the LGBT community in general and "The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence" in particular. While not meaning any disrespect for anyone I talk about, I do need to point out that people who are seeking the respect of others, cannot turn around and disrespect them and/or their religion(s).
For those who don't know, LGBT stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender. While I may personally not agree with their lifestyle (I take the side of God on this one girls, and He is the one that has a problem with it and not me, nor Christians nor the Church). Personally, I don't really care what other people do, until someone waves their weenie in my face, then it becomes a problem. As often happens, while looking into something to write about, the research path takes you on a different angle. This is how this post came about, and as with all of my posts simply expresses my opinion. Not my ISP, nor my DSL provider, not the Blog provider(s), nor my church, job, schools, civic and other associations, etc. Me!

For more on LGBT, see the WikiPedia article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT
Some members of the LGBT community live quiet lives, and no one knows the better, but there are those who for whatever reason want, or feel the need to tell everyone that they are gay. I don't know why they do this but they do. I don't tell anyone what my sexual orientation is, for frankly it's nobody's business and I don't know anyone in the "hetro" community that walks around introducing themselves by "Hi, I'm Tony and I'm straight" but I have had at least two people that I had just met who proudly announced to me unsolicited, "Hi I'm Tony and I'm gay. Why do I need to know that? Would you like to know that I used to have model trains as a hobby? Probably not. And wasn't this the reason for Don't Ask Don't Tell? Probably so.
RESPECT.
The LGBT community is always asking for acceptance, and respect. Okay, then why won't they accept that others have different views of their lifestyle without calling them "bigots" and by disrespecting others and their religion. Take the group "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence" for example.
They have a web site http://thesisters.org/ and claim that "The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence® is a leading-edge Order of queer nuns. Since our first appearance in San Francisco on Easter Sunday, 1979, the Sisters have devoted ourselves to community service, ministry and outreach to those on the edges, and to promoting human rights, respect for diversity and spiritual enlightenment. We believe all people have a right to express their unique joy and beauty and we use humor and irreverent wit to expose the forces of bigotry, complacency and guilt that chain the human spirit."
WikiPedia says... "The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence (SPI), also called Order of Perpetual Indulgence (OPI) in Australia and elsewhere, is a charity, protest, and street performance organization that uses drag and Catholic imagery to call attention to sexual intolerance and satirize issues of gender and morality.
"Queer" nuns? "Sexual intollerance?" Really! These are homosexual men for the most part that dress in Nun-like garb with flamboyant makeup "respect(ing) diversity." Well, if pictures are worth a thousand words, here is a couple of million for you. (NOTE: There are a few photos with nudity, so viewer discretion is advised)
I see no diversity here, but a complete and utter disrespect for the Catholic Church, and the entire Church community by these people pretending to be nuns. This can best be described as the perversion that many see in the gay community, but if you call a spade a spade, they come after you. This is not funny, and should not be tolerated by the church. It is nothing short of making a mockery of the church and Jesus Christ. If church people did this, we would be called intolerant bigots and worse. Catholic Bashing!
I found a blog and was going to use it as a back up source to this but all of a sudden (and overnight) the link has become "password protected." It appeared here www.rightgrrl.com/carolyn/sisters.html . This blog addressed the bashing by the "sisters" who appear to be more like "mothers" if you get my drift.
There was a video that surfaced out of San Francisco and you can see it here along with related story. http://www.towleroad.com/2007/10/san-franciscos-.html

And an archived account from a 2007 incident which got my goat here. This has a number of useful links.
While this story is dated, it needs to be kept alive, for these are the tolerant and understanding types who are asking us to accept deviency under the banner of diversity.
