CA Senate Honoring The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence in LGBTQ Recognition Ceremony
Most of the state’s Democrat politicians have been driven to distraction by social and emotional causes, rather than governing and policymaking

On June 5 the California Senate will be holding a LGBTQ recognition ceremony. One of the honorees is Sister Roma from the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence group.
Yes, that Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence group, recently embroiled in controversy with the Los Angeles Dodgers. “The Dodgers invited The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to receive an award in an on-field ceremony at Pride Night and that did not sit well with many—especially the more conservative members of the Catholic Church,” the Globe reported. The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence is a drag queen group who dress as Catholic nuns, and in their own words, “…use humor and irreverent wit to expose the forces of bigotry, complacency and guilt that chain the human spirit.”
“Roma also co-hosts an online talk show, The Tim and Roma Show, that focuses on gay pornographic movies and the LGBT community.”
The LA Dodgers invited the Sisters, disinvited them after public outcry, then reinvited them, resulting in the pro-baseball team earning the title, “Bud Light of Baseball.”
According to the American Council Quorum, a public policy group for the faith community, “The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence self-identity as an Order of queer and trans nuns, but they are really a Catholic hate group who mocks Christian figures, beliefs, and doctrines in sexualized dances, photo-ops, and events. In a recent video that surfaced online, this group of trans-men featured a kinky drag-queen Jesus in a thong along with drag nuns, defiling a sincere Christian image.”
This is the video on Instagram.
Indeed. In April to “celebrate” Easter, “The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, the worldwide troupe of nondenominational drag nuns founded in San Francisco in 1979, has announced that their Hunky Jesus and Foxy Mary contests will once again return to Dolores Park, along with the annual Easter Bonnet contest that’s open to everyone,” the SF Standard reported. “Many people believe Jesus died for their sins, but in San Francisco, a bunch of Jesuses dye their beards for our amusement.”
And here are the winners! Behold!
Foxy Mary: Free Choice Mary
Hunky Jesus: Haus of Jesus

This is the group the California Senate will be honoring in a LGBTQ recognition ceremony (Senate request at the end of this article).
For context in the Dodgers debacle, CatholicVote posted this Twitter response:
The @Dodgers’ announcement today is the equivalent of putting a Band-Aid on a gaping wound and in no way diminishes the harm and hurt caused by their plan to honor a vile anti-Catholic organization. Creating a “faith and family” event does not balance the decision to honor a perverted, fake “nun” group that exists to mock the Catholic religion. In many ways, it emphasizes the contrast, and makes our case even stronger. It’s hard to interpret this announcement as anything other than a public relations stunt intended to blunt the widespread national backlash that is only growing stronger. The Dodgers have one path forward: apologize and stop honoring hateful anti-Catholic organizations.
Statement from CatholicVote President Brian Burch: The @Dodgers’ announcement today is the equivalent of putting a Band-Aid on a gaping wound and in no way diminishes the harm and hurt caused by their plan to honor a vile anti-Catholic organization. Creating a "faith and family"… https://t.co/Yq6dLMcvqW

Politics in California today is anything but, as most of the state’s Democrat politicians have been driven to distraction by social and emotional causes, rather than governing and policymaking for the good of the people of their districts, and the good of the people of the state.
One example is this Tweet by Assemblyman Phil Ting (D-San Francisco):
Outrageous the @Dodgers caved in to hate & disinvited @SFSisters from #LGBTQ+ Pride Night. In CA, we value inclusivity. I encourage the @SFGiants to honor this fantastic organization by having 1 of the sisters throw out the 1st pitch on their Pride Night. https://t.co/5tOxoqUuxM

Assemblyman Ting from San Francisco might want to focus on his city in decline instead.
Leadership comes from the top, and at the top in California is Gov. Gavin Newsom, the chief of distraction. Newsom has been making headlines daily for months, focused on everything but the screaming disaster that is California.
Here is a sampling of the hot mess Newsom and the state’s Democrats have made in California, which was once the land of opportunity:
- California is home to one-third of the nations’ welfare recipients and has the highest poverty;
- Our failing schools now rank 48th in the country;
- California lawmakers can’t build new homes or apartments for less than $800,000 each (luxury level costs);
- The governor and lawmakers can’t figure out what to do with several hundred thousand drug-addicted, mentally ill homeless vagrants living on city streets and taking over public parks;
- California lawmakers refuse to build additional reservoirs for water storage in a state in which drought conditions are historically normal, and now has a regular wildfire “season;”
- California lawmakers and governor mandated all electric vehicles within a few years, but can’t keep the power on during heat spells and winter storms;
- Lawmakers authorized more than $25 million worth of taxpayer-funded guaranteed income to some individuals in the state, but can’t really tell you why;
- Proposed $800 billion in reparations payments to African-Americans, despite that California was never a slave state;
- California has a $34 billion deficit—and it’s growing;
- The state’s $100+ billion high-speed rail project is mostly dormant;
- California has the highest income tax rates in the nation;
- California also has the highest sales taxes, electricity rates, gas taxes in the country.
Victor Davis Hanson recently and poignantly summarized the decline of California:
“Crime, homelessness, and medieval decay characterize the once great downtowns of San Francisco and Los Angeles. It is now not safe to walk alone in any major California city after dark.”
“Shoplifting and smash-and-grab theft are no longer treated as real crimes. The result is the mass flight of brand stores from our downtowns and inner cities, with all the accustomed cries of “racism,” even as racist public prosecutors pick and choose whether to indict the arrested on the basis of race.
“California infrastructure, once the best in the county, is now among the worst. Decaying and crowded freeways, inadequate water storage, and pot-holed streets are the new norm. Once robust gas, oil, mining, and timber industries are nearly inert.”
Sacramento, we have a problem.
The Left pushes tolerance for all these outliers and perverts while displaying zero tolerance for the 12 million California Catholics and Christians. Concurrently is the frivolous, unserious Democrats of the California Senate who show how easily distracted they are by shiny objects while the important business of California is treated with contempt, resulting in a permanent poverty class, and those who can, fleeing to safe, sane, free states.

This once beautiful state has been turned by Newsom and the Demoncrats iintoi a third world s–t h–e!
A very small percentage of the U.S. population, namely these ridiculous lefty politicians, who are clearly not helping anyone, and extreme lefty activists, also clearly not helping anyone, are focused on one thing and one thing only. And that is to take every single piece of Americana and every single American institution and throw them in the nearest burning dumpster. After which they still won’t be satisfied.
How exactly is someone like the jaw-droppingly foolish Asm Phil Ting helping the average person in the ‘gay community’ who just wants to be left alone and isn’t benefiting from any of these stunts? The PRIDE movement is simply a con job, a cover for leftist destruction. Why would someone who is gay be automatically supportive of, e.g., the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence? It makes no sense, unless there is an implied threat of “you had BETTER support it. Or else.” Why are we not hearing gays call out Asm Ting for what is essentially a smear job? Who on earth does this guy really represent, anyway?
Same for our preposterous horse’s ass of a governor. I still haven’t met a Newsom voter. Is there ANYONE in the state who really thinks Gavin represents them? He even lies to his so-called ‘base,’ if such a thing actually exists —- ultimately disappointing and betraying them.
Don’t you wonder what California would look like today if our elections weren’t rigged?
Could not agree more, ShowandTell, are you surprised😅
So I have met several Newsom voters as I live in the belly of the beast, SF bay area. Mind boggling isn’t it?
I need to print out Katy’s summary list on all that has gone wrong under the disastrous Newsolini reign and share with my neighbors.
“Sacramento, we have a problem”
We sure do have a problem and let me remind the Sacramento Legislative creatins, God will not be mocked.
For my rather lengthy life, groups like this have existed but tended to operate in rather small circles and certain locations such as parts of San Francisco. And for the most part they were not hassled by the general population. Now they are front page news, influencing huge businesses such as Target and Anheuser-Busch. I believe the intent is to destroy the fabric of society. What I would like to know is who is really behind all of it. I doubt it is the drag queens. Someone else is pulling the levers and there must be money behind it somewhere. Perhaps it’s Soros or an equivalent.
Yes, I believe we have enemies from within.
Take for example the Dylan Mulvaney actor. He was a struggling wannabe actor and you tuber, he was invited to the Biden Whitehouse and boom he is everywhere, Nike, Adidas, Bud Light, Maybelline…. He was forced onto the public scene by those that have set an agenda to weaken this country. This is intentional and has big money supporting it. Black Rock is one of those supporters. If companies do not get on board they will not promote or hold the stock.
Americans in general have had a sense of self. They were looked to as the bastion of freedom. The enemies who want to weaken this country do not have to use conventional warfare, not a single shot fired, just divide and conquer with the useful idiots.
Follow the money and maybe we will get to the true enemy.
These cultural wars should not be taken lightly.
The Dodgers can go into the waste bin of history as far as I am concerned!

Fed Up, this is all part of the WEF globalist reset plan: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/06/lgbtq-pride-diversity-inclusion-innovation/
Fed Up and Cali Girl –
Below is something, for your consideration, from approx one year ago that may help to explain at least part of what is going on now. This assumes, of course, power and money-mad oligarchs pulling strings behind the scenes on the global stage —- some of whom have been repeatedly identified here and elsewhere —- who wish to make slaves of ‘the rabble’ (everyone else) for their own seemingly cartoon-villain-ish purposes.
I know some of you may already be aware of the loan/credit situation described below, but I wasn’t:

Thanks. ShowandTell,
I am aware of the credit situation, I will check out the video, much appreciated.
Hi Fed Up,
I just read this article that gives more credence this is a global effort by the elites to pressure companies into a new economy. It is the same playbook as pressuring corporations and governments to go along with the charade that makes a certain class richer!

The democrat cultists staunchly celebrate/support mental disorders and anti-American values – period. Their party is a direct threat to our Constitutional Republic.
Talk about a party that is completely tone deaf!!!
And people wonder why Californians are abandoning CA as fast as they can reserve a U Haul. BTW, just checked the uhaul rates, $240 to go from Florida to LA, but the reverse trip is over $900.
Why, in God’s name are we paying taxes for this?!!’
Thanks. ShowandTell,
I am aware of the credit situation, I will check out the video, much appreciated.

In am as appalled as- others by the “honoring” of a horrible group, allfor the sake of the LGBTQ community and its efforts to further cram its agenda down our throats! But, we’re not helpless! I vow to never step foot on Dodger grounds, and at the same time, i will do my best to instill moral living and decency to my children/grandchildren. Let’s go back to teaching our children how to be gentlemen and ladies (based on what they were created to be – oops, cant do that. After all, it’s presumptuous to think that if a child leaves up or lowers a toilet seat may indicate their actual female/maleness. Please, please, let’s teach our children well – including and especially how to treat one another.. reward where rewarding is due, but stand against where it’s due. Please pray for California and especially America and its leaders.
BTW – California used to have such a huge agricultural life that we fed 1/3 of our nation. Can’t we restart those incredible farms? Or is that not green enough, or use too much water, or…?
Democrats in the legislature pandering to the alphabet mafia is just a pathetic attempt to deflect from the complete mess that they’ve made of the once great state of California.
