User:Auric/Pink mass

A Pink mass is a ritual, intended to change the sexual preference of a deceased person.

Method
The mass involves two people of the same gender kneeling on the tombstone and kissing.

Masses
On July 14, 2013, members of a Satanic sect called the "Satanic Temple" performed pink mass rituals over Catherine Idalette Johnson's grave, located in Meridian, Mississippi. Johnson is the mother of Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) founder Pastor Fred Phelps. According to Lucien Graves, the church member who performed the rituals, the ordinances posthumously transformed the sexual orientation of Johnson from that of heterosexual to homosexual. The ritual was performed twice - once with a lesbian couple and once with a gay male couple. The "Satanic Temple" intends to target the tombs of Phelps's ancestors such as his father and great-aunt with pink mass rituals.

Graves also announced that he intended to turn Fred Phelps after he died.
