To be fair, he crossed the line one too many times. It was the final nail so to speak. In my experience however if he can resurrect his image they will forgive him of his sins.

He was struck down before, but rose again.

I looked at his picture and my first thought was "Why would she name herself Lord Jesus Christ III"

Belchertown? Really?

Asked how many people have been banned in his 21 years as director, Maloney said "Lord Jesus Christ is the first - and I suppose I'm going to burn in hell because of it."

Ha! I like this guy.

I_Am_Weasel: Belchertown? Really?

The Belcher family has its name all over the place in the Holbrook/Randolph/Avon area.

They must have been a big deal at some point in history.

BELCHERTOWN - The Clapp Memorial Library has taken the unusual step of banning local artist Lord Jesus Christ III from the public facility in response to what they called recurring bad behavior.

There's just too much going on here for the Gods of Comedy to handle.

Masturbating to old copies of National Geographic of course.

Actually he/she really wanted to live a quiet, unassuming life and escape conspicuous notice - until something went horribly wrong.
 
2010-09-29 11:25:49 AM
It's not because of your silly moniker, your gayness or your blackness.

It's because people don't want to go to the library and see a black tranny wearing a miniskirt.

Keep some 'library appropriate' clothes on and i'm guessing you'd be fine.

As someone who has worked in a public library for the past 10 years, let me assure you the library is a magnet for all sorts of...interesting characters. I can almost guarantee this person was not banned because of their dress, but because of their conduct.

My coworkers and I often joke there is always a full moon over the library because of how many loonies we get on a regular basis.

I didn't know library's had dress codes. And, if I went into my local library and saw a tranny wearing a mini-skirt I wouldn't care. As long as they weren't being loud, or causing some sort of fracas who cares?

The article claims the ban is because he's loud, belligerent, and consistently invades the personal space of staff and visitors. He also cuts in line.

I don't think it's so much that as his constantly bothering other people just so he could surreptitiously get uncomfortably close to them.

I RTFA and it didn't sound like he was being a douchebag to me. Just sounds like the library wanted an excuse to get rid of him for good because he's too flamboyant for their hoity-toity, upper middle class, WASPY library.

guy is obviously looking for attention. Being a tranny didn't bring him enough, so he had to change his name to something obviously crying for attention. that didn't work, "hey, let's dress like a tranny hooker and go act like a douche at the library, THAT'LL get me attention"

See my previous post, I don't think the guy was acting like a douche. I guarantee you that if his name wasn't Jesus Christ and if he wasn't a tranny, his alleged douchebaggery would be overlooked.

Lanphear emphasized the action was result of ongoing "behavioral issues," and to allow him to return to the library would be unfair to the patrons and to the staff, he said.

What happened to the pronouns here? If she really is trans and identifies as female, it'd be polite for everyone to call her a she and not a he, author of the article and people interviewed included. And yeah, Lord Jesus Christ might identify as male, it's never said, but trans men don't tend to fem it up.

More likely, since the author's calling himself The Republican--which sounds like the superhero Tucker Carlson turns into--he probably wrote it like that just to reassert what he thinks are proper gender norms. In which case, wow, that's some privilege he thinks he holds over other people's identities.

I know, I know, this isn't a concept I think will go over too well here, but these are medically recognised conditions, and not in a "we need to cure your brain" kind of way. If she's a she, you being grossed out by the whole deal isn't going to change that.

"At the time of this interview, Jesus Christ was wearing heels, a mini skirt and a halter top."

Slutty-tranny Jesus is a refreshing image update. I was growing weary of bloody-loincloth Jesus.

And I disagree... To me it sounds like he was acting like an obnoxious douchebag, and couldn't control his behavior. Considering how strong the attention whoring so obviously appears to be with this guy I think it's more likely to be the truth than not.

Exactly. I find it hard to disbelieve that someone who's appearance screams "I'm an attention whore!" also acts like one. I'm sure the clothes do ruffle a few feathers, the article has said as much and that the library now posts "appropriate dress required" signs, but the bigger issue seems to be that Jesus goes out of his way to bother people personally. I thought that was supposed to be reserved for his followers.
