A member of the LGBTQ+ advocacy group Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, who previously took part in Drag Queen Story Hour, was arrested after witnesses claimed he masturbated in public for an hour.
Clinton Monroe Ellis-Gilmore, 53, is a member of the group that caused a stir after she was disinvited and then reinvited to the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Pride Night amid protests from conservatives and Catholics.
Ellis-Gilmore was arrested on August 12 at Table Bluff County Park in Loleta, California, after police received reports of a man “exposing himself in the driver’s seat of a parked vehicle.”
“According to numerous witnesses, Ellis-Gilmore was at this location for approximately an hour, sitting in his truck with the door open and masturbating,” a Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office report said.
Ellis-Gilmore, who posed shirtless for a mugshot, did not appear to direct his actions against anyone in particular.

“The behavior does not appear to have been directed at any particular individual.”
A witness told The Daily Wire that Ellis-Gilmore made no attempt to hide his “playing with himself.”
“Well, that sucks,” witness Randy Fleek said of his reaction to Ellis-Gilmore. ‘It is obvious. You can’t help but see this guy, he doesn’t hide it. “He wants everyone to see what he does.”
Fleek claimed Ellis-Gilmore was completely naked and was happy to see the officers when they arrived.
“There’s something wrong with this man.” “He has a damned need to show off to the public, to anyone who wants to see him,” Fleek said. “He puts himself in a position and a place where you can’t help but look at the son of Ab***h.”
According to his social media posts, Ellis-Gilmore is an active member of his Oregon-based sister group and has even participated in Drag Time Story Hour.
The suspect also has several sexually charged posts and one that even says, “Be gay, hail Satan.”

The Dodgers had originally agreed to invite the Sisters to their June 16 event at Dodger Stadium during a game against San Francisco, where the infamous drag nuns were to be honored with the Community Hero award.
Many were offended, saying the group was “mocking the Holy Mass” and accusing them of laughing at the Son of God by holding their annual “Hunky Jesus” contest.
Footage from the latest event, filmed in San Francisco’s Dolores Park in April, shows a man dressed as Jesus on the cross while another man in drag and high heels dances around him and on a pole. Dozens of people show up at the annual Easter event to be crowned Hunky Jesus or Foxy Mary.
Senator Marco Rubio declined their inclusion and the Dodgers rescinded their invitation after Rubio criticized the invitation in a letter to Major League Baseball.

The LA Dodgers apologized to the drag nuns for initially rescinding their invitation to their Pride Night on June 16 and renewed the invitation on Monday
He criticized the group, saying they mocked Catholicism and promoted a “perversion” of Jesus’ teachings.
The next day, LA Pride pulled out of the event, despite hosting the city’s annual parade and celebration surrounding the LGBTQ community.
After further criticism, the Dodgers extended the invitation again, saying in a statement Monday: “The Los Angeles Dodgers would like to sincerely apologize to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and their friends and families.”
“We asked her to take her place on the field at our 10th annual LGBTQ+ Pride Night on June 16.”
“We are pleased to announce that they have agreed to accept the thanks of our communities for the life-saving work they have done tirelessly for decades.”
“In the coming weeks, without LGBTQ+ partners, we will continue to work to better educate ourselves, find ways to strengthen bonds and use our platform to support all of our fans who make up the diversity of the Dodgers family.”
The sisters then said in a statement that they believed the apology was “sincere,” adding that the two organizations would “consult and assist each other in responding” if “similar pressure comes from outside” the community occur.
Since the Dodgers’ about-face, LA Pride said they “fully support” the sisters receiving their award and will “stand in solidarity with them” at Pride Night.
