St. Francis was a 12th Century Italian monk who preached the values of poverty and chastity. While extremely effete, he may not have been gay. He is considered a "toss up" by the One True Church. Nevertheless, his name has been appropriated for the capital of Queerdom, San Francisco. This may have something to do with the "a sissy" part of St. Francis's enduring legacy.

  • Francis's change of attire and attitudes shocked his close friends. Where once there was a handsome, fun loving man was now a pious preacher in rough underpants and a bit of brown sacking to cover his body. Fashion conscious Italians said the look would never catch on and banned him from Milan in case he upset the models at the 1205 Autumn/Winter shows. Francis still went and tried to preach from the catwalk. Everyone told him to piss off except one young skinny model called Clare who happened to come from Francis's home town. She fell in love with the weirdo, at least officially on the spiritual plane and became his first follower.
