Bishop Jugis, I was there when your congregation demonstrated with a candle light vigil, the play,[The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told] on February the 8th. I saw nothing wrong with saying the Holly Mother’s prayer over and over. The fine members of the church who were present did nothing to make me feel uncomfortable at all, as a matter of fact I wanted to join them because I am a believer of God and a Catholic also, but did not because of the reasons you and they were there.

Yes I am the transgender that was standing at the top of the stairs taking your picture. I my friend was not there solely for the play but also as Gods witness for what you are doing. I remained quiet about the play because I felt that you were ignorant to the facts. But I will not stand by and watch you, a mortal, ruin a man’s dream and work with the church because of who and what he is.

I as a Catholic have studied the Catechism and understand completely about our doctrine. I understand and know about the persecution of Catholics over the centuries. We as Catholics know what it is to be discriminated against. Bishop Jugis I as a fellow Catholic request that you kneel before God and ask him if he thinks you are right by persecuting the children of God who are Gay.

In closing, I do hope you take my advice by praying to God for his guidance. Also I would like you to recall the persecution of the people of our faith. To persecute others is wrong in Gods eye’s.. Let me remind you the Lord Hates one who sows discord among brothers. Look beyond your personal feelings and be the understanding man of the cloth that you are intended be.
Sincerely Janice Covington a proud transgender
