San Franciso – Cross-dressing ?nun? deemed ?affront to Jesus Christ? by Castro church?s official
A couple hundred gay men planning to play bingo with a band of cross-dressing nuns Thursday night had to find something else to do.
On Tuesday, just two days before the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence were to host their monthly bingo fundraiser, officials at Most Holy Redeemer Church at 100 Diamond St. canceled the group?s lease on the hall. Some charities slated to receive thousands of dollars in bingo proceeds this month and next say they will have to find money elsewhere to balance their budgets.
?People in our congregation were terribly offended by Peaches Christ being invited as the guest comedian. We saw it as a direct affront to Jesus Christ,? said Nick Andrade, the Parish Council president at Holy Redeemer, in reference to the San Francisco drag queen. ?It?s the equivalent of using a Jewish space to host an Adolf Hitler look-alike contest.?
