The calendar has been produced by the Madrid Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transsexual collective COGAM
Controversy in Madrid with the launch of a 2010 lay calendar which shows images of ‘transsexual virgins’ recreating religious scenes decorated with crowns, condoms and phallic symbols.
The lay calendar takes the religion out of the dates of the year, so Christmas Day becomes the day you eat the traditional Spanish turron to mark International Democracy Day, for example.
The images are all based on famous Catholic images and iconography. The Venezuelan photographer who assembled the calendar, Juan Antinoo, had been commissioned by COGAM, the Gay, Lesbian, Transexual and Bisexual Collective in Madrid. He told El Mundo that the idea was to break the moulds of the generation which had been brought up with a Catholic education. He said he was not worried that he would be called irreverent.
‘What really concerns me is that message of the importance of using a condom gets out there.’

More information, from Spain: Calendar features transgender models posing as the Virgin, controversy follows
On sale to raise funds for the LGTB Collective of Madrid (COGAM), its authors say that it's meant to be a "secular calendar" and that it each page suggests alternate ways to celebrate religious holidays.
"Wherever it's noted that December 25 is Christmas, a candy sweet should be eaten on behalf of International Democracy Day" is one example.
Venezuelan photographer Juan Antinoo, author of the images, says that he doesn't see why they should be considered controversial.
"It's not something that worries me, what truly is important is that the message gets out there; which is the importance of the use of a condom" he said. "They are interpretations of religious images, not copies," he added, "I sincerely don't think anyone should be offended by them".
Oh, the demonic depths these spawn of Satan will descend to!
Isn’t that a form of Hate Speech?
Probably not, because Catholic aren’t a “protected minority.”
somehow i’m not surprised
this is definitely a work of evil and a complete mockery of the Catholic faith.
Transsexual virgins!!??? Is that an oxymoron like “Obama transparency”!!???
One wonders why they are so obsessed with Christianity. Why don’t they just invent a religion and go practice it, and not bother anybody?
- because they are not happy with themselves. They know they are weird but won’t admit it. They blame the Big Bad Catholic Church for reminding them that they are weird.
“Virgin,” as in they’re depicting the Virgin Mary, who is at the completely opposite spectrum from them.
Just like the LIBs can’t stop hating Sarah Palin.

Send your instant e-protest to the Minister of Justice of Spain against a calendar that shows the Fatima apparitions in a perverted and homosexual sense:
October 26, 2009
My heart is sick to tell you, but...
...as Catholics, we must defend Our Lady’s honor, especially when She is blasphemed, and shown half-naked!
According to press reports, homosexual groups in Spain published a calendar that has horrific, unspeakable blasphemies against Our Lady of Fatima and other Marian apparitions!
Besides a man that is practically naked alongside Our Lady, the calendar has “images that are based on famous works of sacred art, especially apparitions of the Virgin Mary, but interpreted by transsexuals.
“In the ‘Secular Calendar,’ each month is represented by a free interpretation of famous scenes of Catholic imagery, such as Our Lady of Fatima and the three shepherd children. But redecorated with homosexual esthetics.”
“The scenes show saints dressed as drag queens, using crowns, necklaces, bracelets, and colored condoms with applicators and vibrators attached to the crowns.”
Moreover, the homosexual group behind the calendar suggests December 25 be officially declared the Day of Democracy instead of Christmas. (BOL Noticias, online 10/19/09). http://noticias.bol.uol.com.br/internacional/2009/10/19/ult36u47296.jhtm

I was being sarcastic.
Ping!
Boring.
Disgusting pigs!
Transexual virgin?....you have got to be kidding..that comment is a scream. The stench of hell, satan and his cohorts is strong these days as the most high Virgin Queen roams the world looking for souls to save. The battle is fierce, but her Heart triumphs. I pray for those pathetic souls that are in the grip of those very long claws of the enemy. Come away you fools, before you say yes forever to the sulphur and filth that wait beyond, it is for all eternity you know....you are worth so much more.
You mean there’s now two of you on Freep?
Yikes!
