IRS Grants Non-Profit Church Status To Lesbian Anti-Trans Organization
TaxProf blog and Forbes report on the recent decision by the Internal Revenue Service to grant 501(c)(3) non-profit status to the Pussy Church of Modern Witchcraft. The IRS also granted the organization tax status as a church. PCMW describes itself as "a congregation of adherents to our female born, lesbian-feminist-based religions beliefs and traditions." It goes on to say "We expressly reject the concepts of gender identity, transgenderism, and gender as being meaningful to defining what a Woman or Girl is." [Thanks to Steven H.Sholk for the lead.]
