May you be blessed, Virgin of Guadalupe, for letting us stay together and show how strong is our love despite everything the people say.

When I was on vacation in Veracruz I met Martin. We had such a good time together that I fell in love with him. But I was afraid he would reject me. So I prayed to The Holy Child of Atocha for a miracle, and Martin agreed to live with me at my house. He knew that I’m not a woman, and he accepted me as I am. And now here I‘m showing the day we met. It is a year since that wonderful day.

My life was a chaos. Although I was a good wrestler, I wasn’t happy, until one day The Green Mask made me understand that I was gay. It cost me a lot to accept this, but now I’m happy, and we with the Green Mask have a beautiful relationship. I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for sending him to me.

Who is without sin, speak up now or forever hold your peace, because for love everything is permitted. To those who sinned because of love.

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.

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.
