Mallorca Gay Men's Chorus dressed as nuns in a concert for the celebration of St. Sebastian, patron saint of Palma de Mallorca.

Two Catholic organizations, l’Istituto di politica familiare and Mas Libres, have criticized this governmentally-approved action as inappropriate and one that illustrates "scorn and derision" which insults sincerely-held religious feelings.
