A recent Jesus Christ Superstar production featured a lesbian as Jesus. Moonbats who find it insufficiently tasteless and blasphemous are referred to the new musical Jeezus!
The Guardian loves it:
The image of Jesus has been used by some to shame and subjugate queer people across the Christian world, but Alpaqa theatre collective dare to ask: what if Jesus was queer himself? In this cheeky musical comedy … we meet young Jesús (Sergio Antonio Maggiolo), son of Maria and Jose, who is getting ready to make his first holy communion.
The setting is 1990s Peru. Jose is a member of the armed forces under right-wing president Alberto Fijimori.
The sycophancy of his supporters is explored with a sexy romp of a song: “We will suck your massive dic … tatorship.”
That’s what passes for high culture among moonbats these days.
At home, Jose rules with religion and homophobia, leaving little Jesús fearing the feelings stirred when he sees presentations of semi-naked Jesus…
Jeezus! lightly explores the grip of religious patriarchy and the potential salvation of embracing love with no limits, in a sweet and smutty hour of uplifting musical comedy. As the pair sing at the close: “If love is a mortal sin, let’s burn in hell.”
They just might.
