WATCH: California Lawmakers Honor 'Drag Nun' and Porn Director for 'Work in the Community'

The California Legislature on Monday honored an anti-Catholic drag queen and porn director who goes by the name "Sister Roma."

Far-left state senator Scott Wiener (D.) invited "Sister Roma," whose real name is Michael Williams, to the Legislature's Pride Month celebration, saying he was "proud of Sister Roma and her work in the community." Democratic lawmakers "clapped, whooped, and cheered, giving Roma a prolonged standing ovation," the Sacramento Bee reported.

Williams is a member of the LGBT group "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence," who dress as mockeries of Catholic nuns. The Los Angeles Dodgers in recent weeks invited the "Sisters" to its "Pride Night" festivities, uninvited them, and then reinvited the group after LGBT and leftist backlash. Williams was also the longtime art director for gay pornographic films and has appeared at San Francisco's Folsom Street Fair, where "naked men walk the streets and give (and receive) blowjobs … in front of children" and vendors sell "bondage gear for toddlers," RedState reported.

This is far from the first time Wiener, who takes millions of dollars from a powerful LGBT lobbying group, has eagerly embraced a potentially shocking cause. He has spearheaded efforts to liberalize penalties for gay pedophiles and "individuals who knowingly give HIV to sexual partners," the Washington Free Beacon reported last year. Last June, he sponsored a bill to decriminalize prostitution.

Several of Wiener's Democratic colleagues didn't want to be affiliated with his pro-prostitution stance. "More than a dozen of his fellow Democrats" either "voted no or declined to vote" on the bill, the Associated Press reported at the time.

Democrats weren't so reticent about Wiener's latest push, however. All Democratic Assembly members and all but two Democratic senators voted for honoring Williams, the Bee reported. Republicans called on Senate leadership to revoke the activist's invitation, but the cries fell on deaf ears. Multiple Senate Republicans left the chamber before Williams entered.
