Republicans Walk Out of California Legislature as Anti-Catholic Gay Group Honored
Breitbart ^ | June 6, 2023 | Joel B. Pollak

Republicans in the California state legislature walked out of a ceremony honoring “Sister Roma” of the anti-Catholic group Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, the group mired in a controversy involving the L.A. Dodgers.

Roma, whose real name is Michael Williams, is a man who dresses in drag as a Catholic nun. The group mocks Catholic beliefs as part of a performance repertoire expressing support for alternative sexual identities.

As Breitbart News has reported, the Dodgers invited Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to the team’s annual LGBTQ+ Pride night on June 16, then uninvited them when Catholic groups complained, and re-invited them when activists in the gay community complained. Los Angeles is a heavily Catholic city, with many Catholic faithful among the team’s carefully cultivated and growing fan base of Latino baseball enthusiasts.

Republicans objected to the Democrat-dominated legislature’s decision to use Pride month not just to honor queer citizens and leaders, but specifically to elevate an anti-Catholic group. The Sacramento Bee reported:

In the Assembly, when Roma came to the front to receive her award, Republican members left the floor and retreated to the lounge in the rear of the chamber. The remaining members clapped, whooped and cheered, giving Roma a prolonged standing ovation.

Assemblymember Devon Mathis of Porterville was the only Republican member to speak on the Assembly’s resolution, H.R. 33. Mathis spoke briefly about religious freedom and the need for “mutual” respect that has not been displayed “from all sides,” a nod to the controversy over Roma.

“Hatred and bigotry are not acceptable, and if we truly want religious freedom, then respect must be mutual,” Mathis said. “Sadly, that has not been the case many times, and frankly, from all sides.

Let’s see these men who dress up as the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence dress up as the Rabbis of Perpetual Indulgence and the Imams of Perpetual Indulgence.

Good for them. But it won’t matter much. It’s kinda like the other parties walking out of the Reichstag after the Nazis became a majority.

California Assembly: 62 Democrats and 18 Republicans
California Senate: 32 Democrats and 8 Republicans

With those numbers I’m surprised that California can even survive. Well, maybe they can’t. Time will tell.

Why are we so reluctant to skirt around the issue and are so afraid of offending a faggot by calling him a faggot?

I would pay 3 bits to see that one.

I hear they do “arial” shows in I ran ...

But I think I would be worried about “splatter”

It's really getting harder and harder to kid around about this stuff ... but what cha gonna do? ..cry?

The battle has been joined and more voices are rallying for the truth.
I don't think the GIBLITS are going to go back in the closet very quietly.

And that ESG thing no wonder so many companies are going woke.
