Gay Man to Become Nun after Sex-Change


How far will you go to get a job?

Although this has never happened to us, we hear when you're called to do God's work, you gotta do it. Even if your future employer has deep-rooted discriminatory practices against you. Employers like the Catholic church which discriminates against homosexuals. Which begs us to ask the question: Is that Christian-like? (We won't get into a whole religious rant, because we all agree to disagree.)

So, according to a report, a man had taken matters of God into his own hands and is planning to join a nunnery after he gets a sex-change, of course. Because men are not allowed. And most certainly, gay men are not allowed.

A 45-year-old Italian gay man is planning to undergo a sex change operation and become a nun, although so far the church has failed to back his plan, the ANSA news agency said on Wednesday.

The man, whose name has not been revealed, lives in a small town near Rome but intends to leave his job in May and travel to a country in Northern Europe to undergo the operation.

"I talked about my wish with a priest but I was misunderstood. A conversation with a bishop was even worse," the man told the Italian news agency.

Meanwhile, a spokesman for CasaPound, a social justice organization, Massimo Carletti said, "All men and women should be equal and have equal opportunities."

"He is determined to [achieve his dream] and we will help him," Carletti said.



We believe in inclusion, not exclusion.
