All are welcome! Today we marched for PRIDE in London. We gave thanks for the freedoms we have, celebrated those who have gone before and offer up the challenges we face in London, the UK and abroad! Happy Pride all!

We gathered as one LGBT+ Catholics community on Saturday 25 June on Clapham Common to give thanks for the equality achieved over the past 50 years, to celebrate the LGBT+ icons and allies who have served the community and offer up in prayer those who remain challenged for who they love. It was a celebration of laughter, games, prayer, song, feasting and don’t forget the fishy sandwiches (you had to be there). Thanks to the Young(er) Adults Group for organising and everyone who attended for making it so special. Thanks especially to Gemma, Chiara, Peter, Rose, Michael and Justin for helping to feel us body and soul!

The Rev. James Martin, S.J., a Jesuit priest, author and editor at large at America asks us, "The next time you are inclined to say, “Hate the sin, love the sinner,” you might ask yourself several questions. First, am I using this slogan only for L.G.B.T.Q. people? Second, where do their lives express not sin, but love? And finally, what can I learn about God from the people I am calling sinners?"

The problem with this seemingly compassionate dictum is that today it is applied almost exclusively to one group: L.G.B.T.Q. people.

Christian and LGBT? A Drag Queen and Catholic? Resident "Matron" talks about...

Being a Drag Queen - Defend, Speak Out, and Make 'em Laugh!

Drag has not always been celebrated like it is now. Drag was more an expression of protest to social norms and for many it meant to be free for a few hours. But it was dangerous. Today it is easier, it is more accessible. But how is it for a person of faith to do drag and when others find out they are a person of faith, or even more specific, Catholic?! Mark tells us his story of being Mark Ashton, but also his persona Matron. Listen to Mark and meet him as Mark and as Matron, find out the and see the difference and how he discovered Drag and the joy of making people laugh.
