just heard “turns out, shockingly, that you can’t pray away your gay thoughts because you can’t pray away your capacity for love” from a wise Christian queer man on a tiktok comp, and i thought it’d be wise to share

The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence started when three friends banded together to dress as nuns and recite a loving and forgiving liturgy to drive homophobic evangelists off of Castro Street in San Francisco. It worked. The organization quickly expanded as an advocacy group for gay rights.

When asked why they are dressed as nuns, the answer was, "We do all that traditional nuns have done for centuries. Our look might be unique, but our ministry is common. We serve our community. We have raised lots of money for AIDS and other social causes. We visit the sick, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and sometimes disrobe the clothed! We are 21st Century queer nuns."

The Sisters primarily made a name for themselves through their AIDS activism. In 1982, The Sisters published Play Fair! which was the first humorous and easy-to-understand sexual health and safety pamphlet specifically intended for gay men.

The Sisters also used their presence to shame homophobic public figures, performing "exorcisms" on Phyllis Schlaffey, Jerry Fallwell, and Pope John Paul II, as well as on the steps of the U.S. House of Representatives.

In 2023, The Los Angeles Dodgers caused a huge controversy by selecting the Sisters to receive a "community hero award" on their Pride Night game (again, the Sisters are a legendary charity group that has literally saved lives), but then they gave in to right-wing pressure and cancelled it. Eventually, they realized how badly they had fucked up and re-invited the Sisters to their game.

The sisters remain active today with many chapters across the U.S. and Canada. Membership is open to all genders and sexualities.

Join Micah, W Scott McCandless, Ben, & Brandon Johnson from the Found in Translation Podcast and Liberation & Inclusion Translation (LIT) as we explore the first Passover. Why does it seem like there are two separate agendas here? What are the distinct ways God is being perceived, and how does that allow us to approach the text with new eyes? And are we pro or anti angel of death? Find out some answers to these questions and more on this episode of The Word in Black and Red: The Leftist Bible Study Podcast.

Not Every Comment Section Is a Pulpit: On Evangelizing Without Consent

I need to say something about those copy-paste TikTok comments that show up on every single video, especially ones that have nothing to do with religion:

“Jesus died on a cross for you. He defeated death, he defeated your sins. He did this for you, and He gave us the Holy Spirit, spread the gospel.”

These comments might come from a place of conviction or genuine care, but intent doesn’t erase impact. And the impact is spammy, intrusive, and disrespectful.

Evangelizing this way isn’t a reflection of Christ’s love. It’s just digital door-to-door preaching without boundaries, posted en masse on content that might be about grief, joy, sexuality, culture, humor, or even trauma. It disrespects the space people have carved out for themselves. It violates consent.

Christianity is not supposed to be forced marketing. Faith is an invitation, not a sales pitch. And quite frankly, if your idea of spreading the gospel involves interrupting vulnerable, unrelated moments with a copy-pasted “call to salvation,” you’re not helping anyone. You’re performing, not connecting.

I’m a person of faith. I believe in the beauty of talking about spirituality and scripture with others. I believe in building community, in deep conversations, in mutual curiosity. I believe in meeting people where they’re at. But those things take trust, time, and consent — not unsolicited paragraphs in the comments of someone’s dance video or makeup tutorial.

So here’s the ask: If you’re a believer, especially one who takes the Great Commission seriously — consider how Jesus actually approached people. With compassion. With stories. With consent. With love. Not force. Not guilt. Not repetition.

Share your faith thoughtfully. But stop flooding TikTok. Please.

““We must not seek the child Jesus in the pretty figures of our Christmas cribs. We must seek him among the undernourished children who have gone to bed tonight with nothing to eat, among the poor newsboys who will sleep covered with newspapers in doorways.””

"The Vision of the Cross"

Gustave Doré, 1832.

[butchdykejesuschrist]

Our Heavenly Creator, the Devine Parent, became human in Christ, Jesus of Nazareth. As the children of God, made in his own image, it's only natural and expected then that many of us take on our own transitions. Transition is a sacrement. As we move from babes in the arms of a parent, to toddlers sprawling across the floor, to children always learning and yearning. Life is transition. It should come to no surprise that gender too is transitionary. As God above became Man on earth, and we in his image, cross the border of man to woman, woman to man. As God above, with the mouth of man told us, there is no longer male or female, and so our nonbinary and agender siblings are living scripture.

“Crystals are demonic!” “Sage is demonic!” “Manifestation is demonic!”

No. Genocide is demonic. Hunger and homelessness is demonic. Addiction is demonic.

Y’all get mad at the wrong shit. You’ll loudly rebuke a damn teenager with a kawaii tarot deck from fucking Five Below, but you’ll overlook the poor and needy.

Get your life together.

O St. Joseph whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the Throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires.  O St. Joseph do assist me by your powerful intercession and obtain for me from your Divine Son all spiritual blessings through Jesus Christ, Our Lord; so that having engaged here below your Heavenly power I may offer my Thanksgiving and Homage to the Most Loving of Fathers.  O St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms.  I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart.  Press him to my name and kiss His fine Head for me, and ask Him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath.  St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls, pray for us.  Amen.
