Liturgy Queen?

Why did I call this blog "Confessions of a Liturgy Queen"? I only recently learned of this term, but when I saw it in an article by David Gibson in Politics Daily, I instantly recognized myself. I do not usually like labels of any kind - although we all use them both for ourselves and for others - I have to admit I do love this one. Here is what Gibson says in his article:

Mark Jordan, a scholar of gay religion at Harvard Divinity School and author of several provocative books, such as "The Silence of Sodom: Homosexuality in Modern Catholicism," has argued that this sense of drama in the Mass makes churches a favorite stage for "Liturgy Queens," an epithet that Jordan reclaims as a badge of honor. "The liturgy creates its own divas, on both sides of the communion rail. It is a show that makes for ardent gay fans," he writes. "Liturgy Queens need not be members of the clergy, but they are typically found in the vicinity of the altar – or at least in the choir loft."

So I thought "Confessions of a Liturgy Queen" would be a catchy title for a gay man's blog on Catholicism. Now if I could only figure out how to actually get people to read my blog....
