In a shocking twist that’s less ‘holy spirit’ and more ‘holy moly,’ Reverend Bartholomew Buttercup, a pastor known for his fiery sermons against the ‘sinful spectacle’ of drag queens, has been spotted in full drag this Halloween. Sources say the reverend, who previously likened drag to ‘the devil wearing a sequined diaper,’ chose a particularly flamboyant ‘Lady Gaga meets Moira Rose’ ensemble, complete with a shimmering jumpsuit, a gravity-defying wig, and enough glitter to blind a small army of homophobes.

Witnesses report that Reverend Buttercup, channeling his inner RuPaul (or perhaps his inner demon…depending on your theological perspective), sashayed down Main Street, collecting candy from bewildered children. One child, little Timmy, was overheard saying, "Mommy, is that…Jesus' flamboyant aunt?" His mother, visibly shaken, responded with a nervous, "Yes, Timmy, that's…Aunt Jezebel."

The ‘woke’ internet, naturally, exploded. Some hailed the pastor’s transformation as a miraculous example of self-acceptance and the boundless power of drag. Others pointed out the irony with the subtlety of a sledgehammer to a particularly delicate porcelain doll: "So, is hellfire now sequin-encrusted? Does divine judgment involve lip-syncing for your life?" one user quipped.

Reverend Buttercup’s church, ‘The Joyful Judgment’ (ironic, much?), has yet to release a statement. However, a source close to the pastor whispers that he’s currently planning a Christmas pageant featuring a gender-fluid interpretation of the Nativity, with Joseph played by a particularly buff drag king and Mary by a non-binary angel sporting a magnificent halo made entirely of glow-sticks. "It’s going to be…lit," the source giggled, adding ominously, "And if you don't like it, you're going to burn in a very fashionable hell."
