San Sebastian, we dedicate this to you because one year ago we met each other on a marvelous gay-lesbian manifestation. We have been a couple ever since. We live for each other, without prejudice. We are for this Coexistence (Law), because to be a homosexual is not a crime, but the discrimination is.

Sacred Heart, thank you for giving me the opportunity to love and be loved. This love is forbidden, but it made me feel everything I had desired. I know it’s a sin, but nobody’s gonna deprive me of this pleasure. I repent of nothing, and I’m never leave him.

May you be blessed, Virgin of San Juan, for the miracle that I met a good man who loves me. It didn’t matter for him that I was a prostitute. He proposed me, and now we’re very happy together.

I ordered this retablo to Saint Diego as I had promised. It was my first time and I’ll never forget it. I was 17 and I knew how to use condom for protection from infection. I had a lot of fun with a prostitute. When I saw how voluptuous she was, I was aching to go in hotel with her. It happened in Sulivan, Mexico, on Friday, August 16, 2002.

St. Charbel, thank you for your favors.

One day I met Isidro at a dance. We had a drink, we chatted for a while and we fell in love with each other. But Isidro surprised me when he asked me to slap him in the face and to kiss after that. I thought he was kidding me. Some time later I moved to his place. And one night, before going to sleep, he asked me to spank his ass with a board. I refused, but he insisted. He said that if I really loved him, I had to spank him. Otherwise, I should leave him. Needless to say, I fell in love with a masochist.

Mariana Flores met Teresa. She admired her beauty and couldn’t do anything but constantly think of her. It was too much for her, so she confessed her love to Teresa. Teresa was stunt and told that she was feeling the same. We start to have relationship, and we became very happy. We thank the Holy Child of Atocha for the great luck of meeting one another.

Saint Jude Thaddeus, I thank you for your support. My masochistic partner had a doubt about his desires. We argued heatedly about it, until the day of the breaking up came. However, four months later he couldn’t stand the separation, and thanks to Saint Jude we returned to each other. He realized what he wanted and accepted who he was. So now, before going to sleep, he asks me to spank him really good.

Virgin of Guadalupe, I’m going to thank you because you sent me Emilio, a man, who fell in love with me, knowing that I was a prostitute. I also fell in love with him. He proposed me and took me out of this sad life. I’m verry happy with him. Bless our marriage!

The great Rita Reyes has money and she’s happy to be a prostitute. Thanks to the Virgin.

Yolanda gives thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe for finding a job as a prostitute here, in La Merced, Mexico. Look after me, so I could send some money to my parents in Pachuca, Hidalgo.

I’m thanking Our Lord Jesus Christ for letting me see how the devil took this damned brute who had caused the disaster with his crazy driving, when he had run over me and had broken my legs.

We thank Saint Sebastian because the Law for Coexistence Partnerships gave to us, two men in love, right to live as a couple in marriage without hiding our love from the public and without being ashamed for our love.
