The Roman Catholic Church has offered those Anglicans (Episcopalians to us ‘Merkins) too freaked out at the prospect of women and hom’sexuals donning the collar and/or otherwise presuming full communion with their fellow congregants a safe passage into the land of the Christian patriarchy.
Yet another reason why free women should strongly support full equality for all queers—after all, even straight chicks are queer when they act as if they matter.
