My grandfather and his men’s group used to dress up as women and put on skits AT CHURCH back in the 30s and 40s. We have pictures (somewhere). Nobody ever thought anything was wrong with it…
Whilst I appreciate that the rabid Evangelicals see the Catholics as the devil incarnate, somebody should have a look at the sartorial style of ecclesiastical robes. Purple seems a favourite colour.
I did not know that. I must admit the issues Xtians have with sex starts at the very outset. The immaculate conception can only be justified because sex is too dirty for their lord and savior.
Somewhere there's a clip of Anderson Cooper on CNN and a live reporter from a Trump rally appears with some Village People aothem plarine in the background. It's obvious Anderson's on autopilot. When the reporter's done..
AC: That music in the background...
Reporter: Yup, it is.
AC: Do they know.....?
Reporter: Apparently not, but I don't see how that's possible...
AC: But.....
It's hysterical and worththe time to track down. Anderson's facial expressions are sublime....
Remember to tell the FBI, when they come knocking on your door, that J. Edgar Hoover was the cosumate cross dresser long before it became so fahionable. We called him Mr. Spanky, back in the day.
Also I’ve always thought those priests and pastors hated that cross-dressers were better dressed and better looking than they’d ever be. And infinitely more talented.
And another thing. Fanatic Christian Right-wing, American, evangelical assholes bribed the Ugandan government with $24M to make same-sex love illegal and punishable by long prison sentences and even death. Christian, my ass! Bastards. I'm happy to say that my Ugandan LGBTQ+ friends from Uganda, now stuck in a camp in South Sudan, are getting a degree of support from the UK. They need more. Check out my latest 72 Magazine for their Gofundit link. My song 'I'm A Refugee' (https://open.spotify.com/album/3QwFGSObUvVXy36KLXObHE?si=vLnTeFUJRKaSU7ahYJoRGg) is on Spotify and all streaming platforms.
Quite! Do please check out my multimedia output. I'm a gay MAN who revolutionised the gay scene (and straight/polysexual scene) in London, UK in the early mid-eighties and later. Around the same time, Roger Daltrey of The Who recorded four of my songs, with me on keyboards. My classic 1980 album 'Fresh Blood' (now on all streaming platforms) reached number 3 in the US airplay charts. My new album 'Woke Up This Morning' (geddit?) is blowing-up on Spotify but I prefer it here. steveswindells.bandcamp.com. Steve X
In the past couple of days someone out up an observation that Jesus never said anything about homosexuality, but I add this: At the time of the early Christian church, which grew out of the conversion of Romans to Christianity. Gibbon said, in his epic The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, the Roman Catholic Church is the last remaining remnant of the empire. It’s organized the way the Roman army was. Furthermore, according to Roland Bainton, there was a lot of licentiousness among the upper classes, including homosexuality and incest (think Caligula) that repulsed the saintly Christians. So even though Jesus said nothing against homosexuality, his followers did as did the Catholic Church. Of course the church has had a problem with homosexuality and pedophilia in recent years. I think that’s because celibacy is unnatural. It’s not how humans are made.
In any event, gay people get a bad rap from evangelicals and they also have a problem dealing with homosexuality among their members. It’s kind of a cliche that evangelical preachers are often closeted gay men or have threesomes with their wives and pool boys.
If they want to find groomers, they're going to need to look inside THEIR OWN CHURCHES....... they are full of predators and pedophiles........' the call is coming from inside the house' .
But since they conveniently ignore the fact that their own priest, pastors, ministers molest children and assault women- the only logical conclusion is that they truly do not care with these things even happen.
The SBC ( Southern Baptist Convention) hid nearly 750 cases....... they learned how to lie and cover up from the Catholics.
Mrs. Doubtfire, the Birdcage, Uncle Miltie, Bosom Buddies, the list of movies & TV shows with cross dressing goes on and on. No one ever used to complain--perhaps they were secure enough to laugh.
I've been wondering this ever since the evangelicals started shrieking about gay people:
What are they going to do when they finally figure out that the majority of gay men are indistinguishable from straight men except for being attracted to men instead of women? They look the same, act the same, talk the same, dress the same, have the same interests, etc.
I imagine them shorting out with smoke coming from their ears like Harry Mudd's 'angels'. Or 'sterilizing' like NOMAD after muttering to itself, "Non sequitur. Your facts are uncoordinated" a thousand times.
But more likely mass nervous breakdowns and being placed on serious psychotropics.
Listening to Sam and Dave, just pretending it really didn’t happen. Weren’t the 60s fun and Boy George and the 80’s offered us dreams and hopes that we could all get along, as our founders intended. briefly but shortly this group who have undercut our democracy will be in charge for 4 years.
I wrote about the shows that were put on by soldiers for soldiers during World War 2. One movie starred, among others, Ronald Reagan who as part of the plot directs the “drag” show. The movie made millions. If you’re interested in the short piece and clip , here is a link. It’s here on Substack. So glad you wrote about this. I have been and continue to be disgusted at the shit thrown at a community of people. Anyway here’s the link if anyone’s interested.
Apparently no one has seen “Some like it Hot”, “Mrs Doubtfire”, “La Cage a Faux”, Shakespeare, etc… what is wrong with people?
It's not just about campy stuff. Us gay men like MEN!
I have a list.
Or a British pantomime!
Guess they never saw Rocky Horror either. More Time Warp= fewer problems.

💜🐝🔥🤣🥳
Remember when evangelicals thought that the purple Teletubby meant he was gay? 🎉🤣😝
Dangerous christofascists! 🤬

I still don’t know what to make of MAGA using “YMCA” as an anthem. They do know who the Village People are, right?

AND That the song is a GAY ANTHEM!!! 😝🤣🥳
Self awareness is not one of their skill sets.

It’s about hatred. Simply that.
