Traditionalists are furious after it emerged that one of the “Three Wise Men” in the January 5th Epiphany parade would in fact be played by a drag queen.
The January 5th Three Kings parades are a highlight of Spain's busy Christmas calendar and see the Three Wise Men, or Magi, parade through cities, towns and villages throughout the country distributing sweets to children. Once upon a time, the roles of “Los Reyes Magos” were played by local councillors, one of whom traditionally “blacked up” for the part of Balthazar.
But in recent years, and since the arrival of a left-leaning council at Madrid’s City Hall, things have taken a rather less traditional turn.
Two years ago, authorities responsible for organizing the cabalgata in Madrid’s Puente de Vallecas district not only decided that an actual black man would be found for the role but stirred up a storm by swapping one of the three kings for a queen — in a nod to equality and women’s rights.
But this year, the planners have gone even further. A collective in Vallecas have taken the bold step of choosing two women and a drag queen to represent Melchior, Caspar and Balthazar in the annual parade. […]
But for conservative politicians it was a step to far, with representatives from both the PP and Ciudadanos threatening to take legal action to stop it. “We support Gay Pride and the rest of those celebrations, but we believe that Kings’ Day should be respected as a religious holiday,” said Jose Luis Martinez-Almeida, council spokesman of the PP for Madrid. …

Europe is lost,boys and girls! Lost!!!
How predictable.
This started years ago: What conservatives need to recognize is that throughout the country companies are staving company-killing lawsuits off leftist bullies by complying with their demands.
Conservatives see this as cultural catapultion but it is actually preservation.
This is leftists using Alinsky tactic of “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” These fascists pick a target much the way a pack of wolves pick a deer from the herd, and all the other deer run away.
We don’t have brown or black shirts running around the country, we have leftists using the legal system to do EXACTLY the kind of bullying and terrorizing that black shirts and brown shirts did during European Fascist times.
And there is no coherent response from conservatives that calls out this behavior and Alinsky it. No organization is there to defend companies and individuals from this leftist fascist bullying and it is not FROZEN, NAMED, and DISPARGED. There is no loss of social standing by bullying conservatives. Leftist bullying is actually held in high regard in the media and among the elite.
This is a form of terrorism and needs a substantial, continued, response. When are conservatives going to circle the wagons and fight back?
When are conservatives going to give organizations and people backing to not obey the fascists?
When are conservatives going to make the cultural fascism that is endemic in the United States a bad thing to do, a socially unacceptable thing to do? When are conservatives going to push fascism out of the country and out of polite society.
This, Children, is how the Germans eventually systematically killed 12 million people. One increment at a time.
The church that I was involved with years ago put on an annual Christmas Nativity. First few years it went well. Then the leftist, feminist branch took it over when the pastor left. They made all the Kings girls. The girls were so proud! The mothers were so subversive! I looked at the boys aging from 8 to 15 standing aside. They had no roles in the angel group which were young girls up to 10. They had no role with the shepherds which were the under 8 boys. Their roles were as Joseph or the Kings and the King’s underlings.
Those roles were taken away by the feminist fascists.
I saw them marginalized, they just slipped away. We left this church a few months later after they had called a radical leftist minister, female of course.
And this, children, is why there are no roles for men in our culture.
They can be outraged as they want, they can huff and puff and bloviate but unless some heads roll the leftist agenda moves forward. And a year from now it will be two men in feather boas making out with each other while being whipped by a woman with a buzzcut smoking a cigar. Because that’s how leftist incrementalism works, make everything political, ruin it so bad that people’s perception of right and wrong, good and evil, virtuous and hedonistic begin to blur.
We’re not doing too hot. You should check out the Hunky Jesus contest at Golden Gate Park sponsored by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Sometimes I think their soul purpose is to torment. If anyone else antagonized like that, they would be arrested for inciting.
It’s Bolshevism. It begets Fascism.
This isn’t about pride or tolerance at all. It’s never been about that.
They have to throw their hissy fits and in your face garbage like this because they hate Christians so much.

Just change the name and everyone is happy: “Two Kings and a Queen” Day.
Everyone? A portrayal of the biblical Three Wise Men?
I haven’t heard a peep from their new Francis Cardinal-Archbishop Osoro, either. On top of that, today I found out that our bishop has invited Osoro to be the keynote speaker at our annual Eucharistic Conference in March.
Osoro, btw, is a man of modest to zero accomplishments (in fact, he lied about having advanced degrees) and was like Cupich in the fact that nobody ever expected him to be much more than a nobody bishop of a nothing diocese - but he’s Francis’ guy. And that’s all it takes.
He never utters a word about the insane doings of the leftist, uber-gay Madrid city government.
Lying about one’s education puts one in the “grievous wolf” category.
In many countries gifts are exchanged on Epiphany and the arbitrary date of Christ’s birth (Dec 25th) is reserved for solely religious observance.
Before the American Bishops capitulated the tradition of celebrating the 12th day of Christmas; Jan 6th, to crass commercialism and because of it now any reference to Epiphany (sometimes called “Little Christmas”) has been removed from American calendars . Christmas decorations like the tree etc did not go up until Christmas eve and would go down the Sunday after Epiphany.
They hate Christ the most.
If only they knew how much He loved them.
