Transsexual Jesus sparks protests

Linky

I think they have a right to express themselves, but I think it is quite disrespectful. Taking someone who many sees as a God and their personal savior, and potraying him to be something that many would find disturbing.

That's pretty distasteful. :|

"Queen of Heaven"! :P

Anyway I dont think that would be interesting in the slightest to watch.

It's in bad taste and it's not clever. People are allowed to express themselves however they want, but they are going to have to expect critisism when they pull nonsense like this.

Sounds like my type of theatre production. And what a name. GlasGay!

But yeah I can see why it's offensive. Nice of them to be so peaceful about it.

It was a peaceful protest with hymns and placards.

Mob consisting entirely of Squares

they couldn´t identify quality entertainment even if it walked up to them and punched them in the face.

Altho, i will draw the line when transsexual babyjesus makes his way to the stage.

One sign read "God: My Son is not a pervert".

Do they even know what transexual is?

And who cares about "misrepresenting" Jesus? What does it matter if he's male or female? He's "misrepresented" by christians themselves more often than anyone else.

A pastor said: "You can't blaspheme God and use freedom of speech as an excuse for that." :lol: of course you can! That's the whole point of freedom of speech :roll:Engrish_Major

Yeah, thats what i was thinking lol.

That is hilarious, people need to relax and lighten up a bit. Also Transsexual jesus is an awesome name for a band.

Well thats art for you isnt it, you might not like what someone makes but its pretty childish to protest it. Just brings more attention to the painting.

[QUOTE="Engrish_Major"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] To put it mildly. I may not agree with one's beliefs but I won't mock them either. Too bad society doesn't feel that way....jimmyjammer69

That just means society is intolerant....which I'm not.LJS9502_basic

This is funny but at the same time it's offensive and immature.

You missed the entire point of my initial post.

This is why I avoid any news that isn't about war.

Just imagine if someone put on a theater production featuring a gay Martin Luther King, or a gay Muhammed, or a gay JFK.

It would be condemned nation-wide. But of course, the far-left seculars deem it acceptable to mercilessly mock anything that has a Christian connotation.

In short, that's disrespectful and very intolerant for a demographic, the LBGT community, that preaches tolerance nonstop.

Just as they have a right to to produce that play (as distasteful as it is), Christians have a right to protest it.

how is that any different from Black Jesus?

who cares what these god believing people think? They believe in lots of things I don't agree with, but I have to 'live with it'. These religious folks also have to 'live with it'. It works both ways you know.

The people who protest this kind of stuff really need to get over themselves. Darth-Caedus

It's offensive to Christians. They have a right to disagree with it, and it's obvious why they would. Where's the problem here?

Are those Christians forced to watch the play?

I see the church as a vile brainwashing institution that gives false information on homosexuality.
I'm not forced to visit the church however, so I don't see a reason for me to protest against the church.

Where's the double standard in this situation? A play that is offensive to Christians has the right to be produced, but Christians don't have the right to protest? Where's the "freedom of expression" that lets this play be produced?

Well, God created us in His image supposedly, and if there are transexuals, then I suppose Jesus might be a little transexual too.

Transsexual Jesus would make a great band name.

I don't think it's disrespectful at all. I think it's more disrespectful to protest this.
