Trans Activists Target Famous American Cathedral

A funeral at St. Patrick’s Cathedral was disgraceful theater meant as sacrilege.

In a recent piece, columnist Gary Bauer observed, “Nothing infuriates people more than when a team or an athlete cheats in a sports contest.”

Well, Gary, the trans “community” seems to have taken your words as a challenge in its most recent hold-my-beer moment.

In recent years, there has hardly been a single aspect of American life that has avoided being force-fed the sexuality-focused philosophies and activism of the LGBTQIA “community.” Schools, government buildings, businesses, flag poles, libraries, restaurants, parks, and every kind of public space or building you can imagine — all of them have been decorated with Pride and trending the “transgender” flag du jour.

It’s becoming nearly impossible to find children’s cartoons without messaging about sexuality imposed somewhere in the dialogue of animated characters. Business owners and their employees are often expected to display some kind of symbol or engage in training that instills activism in the very fabric of their organization and forces them to show their allegiance to LGBTQIA issues or face boycotts, cancellation, and all types of threats.

This movement of supposed “diversity,” “equity,” and “inclusion” has repeatedly exposed its agenda loud and clear: No space, building, business, or family is safe from participating in their chants, cheers, and ideology, and no one will escape without publicly celebrating its latest fetish or perversion.

Churches, sadly, are no exception, as one particular stunt showed. While scheduling funeral services for the prominent and recently deceased New York prostitute, drag queen, and Gender Equity Consulting founder Cecilia Gentili, local rainbow activists decided that the only site that would suffice for these funeral services would be one of the nation’s most famous churches, midtown Manhattan’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Though there are claims that Gentili was baptized as a Catholic, it has been noted in several articles that his belief system had since turned to atheism.

The event attracted more than 1,000 of the city’s arguably most perverse inhabitants, which was evident by what seemed the extra effort made by many in attendance to wear outfits as far removed as possible from what might reasonably be expected for weekly Mass services.

The crowd showed up in “daring outfits,” said The New York Times. Attendees wore “glittery miniskirts and halter tops, fishnet stockings, sumptuous fur stoles and at least one boa sewed from what appeared to be $100 bills.”

The conduct during the event was about as indecent and unholy as the clothing choices. In place of prayers and silence were shouts, cheers, and literal screaming, accompanied by pleas to whoever was listening for “community” and to be “loved and understood.”

The blasphemy continued through a series of eulogies provided by a few of the guests, which included references to Gentili as the “Mother of all Whores” and similar terms of endearment.

As this story made its way across social media, many were understandably baffled as to how this event could have been allowed in St. Patrick’s at all. The answer came when it was discovered that upon booking the funeral, many important factors about this person’s identity and practicing beliefs were withheld, and that the only information provided was that he was a Catholic.

It would be safe to assume that the organizers intentionally hid the identity of the one they were honoring in order to gain access to a place that had not yet been desecrated by their signature public displays of debauchery and depravity. By doing so, they achieved their goal of defiling one of the more beautiful expressions of American history and values while doing everything they could to drive God out of it.

Dishonesty and trickery are just tools within the transgender toolbox. Their attempts to assure us that all they want is to feel loved and accepted is nothing more than a manipulation tactic, an effort to appeal to kindness and humanity that is common amongst those who believe in and worship God.

Indeed, they will use whatever doors they can open as a gateway to overhaul every decent and moral aspect of American society.
