'Sister Roma is one of the very best community leaders in San Francisco. She does amazing work,' said one state senator. But protesters representing religious groups showed up for a prayer vigil in response to ceremonies on the floor of the legislature honoring what they say are an offensive group of men who dress in drag as nuns.
Still protesters representing Christian and Catholic groups showed up at the state capitol for a prayer vigil in response to ceremonies on the floor of the legislature honoring what they say are an offensive group of men who dress in drag as nuns."We're not protesting. We're not yelling and screaming. We're just praying," said one man who came to the capitol.
"If they are mocking nuns, devoted to saving the poor today, what's to stop legislators from mocking our Jewish brothers and sisters, our Muslim brothers and sisters," said Jonathan Keller, California Family Council President. In response, Sister Roma said: "Please don't weaponize your religion and exercise your own internalized transphobia and homophobia to discriminate against any community. I think we are all doing a lot of good in the world, and I think there is room for all of us."
