In the beginning was the Queen, and the Queen was with God, and the Queen was God.
Yes, “THAT” Queen. That same Queen was in the beginning with God, teaching God how to tuck and contour and nurse drinks and pass for a top.
All things, all stunts, all costumes were made by him; and without him, without sequence, there would be no sequins, was not anything made that was made.
In her we got our life; and the life was the spotlight on us.
…
There was a Queen sent from God, whose name was Willi Ninja, was Tatiana, was named Carmen, was named Brandy Martel, was named Eddie, was named Peter, was named
…
This Queen was in the world, and the world was made by her, accessorized by her, and the world knew her not. But she was not having it!
She came into her own, and her own received her not.
But as many as received him, to them gave she power to become the sons and daughters, the queer and the questioning, the trans and the bisexual, the A-sexual and the Gender Non-Conforming Children of God, even to them that believe on her name:
Which were born, not of blood, nor the will of the flesh, nor the will of Queens, but of God.
And the Queen was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and dwells among us (and we beheld her glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Mother of the Disco, Sylvester), full of grace and truth.
Amen
