Boo-freakin-hoo. Let's see them stop with their "unprovoked attacks" on LGBT people first. It actually took me a little bit to see that it's supposed to be a spoof on the Last Supper.

Anyway, didn't Jesus and them look just a bit...femmy?...in those robes and that long hair?

Well, I think the picture is shock value -- and I consider shock value alone to be lacking in substance.

But as for the concerned women, they can return to the dark ages if they support censorship in any form. We live in a secular democracy -- everyone is entitled to behave or believe as they choose. If the KKK is allowed to publicly demonstrate and spew their hateful views, then so should anyone else.

I might have a problem with anti-religious art if it were explicitly against a specific religion and supported by tax dollars. I can foot the bill myself, just as a religious person can pay for their own icons. I wouldn't want my tax dollars supporting Christian symbols, and they probably shouldn't have to cover "Piss Christ" - a work of "art" comprised of a cross soaked in urine.

But that is a matter of public funding. Freedom of speech should be complete and absolute.

Hmmm, I didn't even catch the similarity until I read the second link. I doubt this is the type of event many Christians would go to in the first place; who cares what they think of the poster?

That's it? Take it from a Christian who lives in the Bay Area it could have been much worse and I'm surprised it wasn't.

NICE! I think it draws attention to an often overlooked bit of Biblical history.......that Jesus and his Disciples were considered Radicals in their time.....just as this photo inspires shock and outrage in religious conservatives.....so too did Jesus and his followers........I seem to recall that he was hung on a cross for his subversive teachings. Makes ya think.....

A black, bald, gay Jesus with drag queen and leather boy apostles... What could uptight, white, republican, paranoid, middle-class Christians possibly find offensive about that...?

because it paradies a DaVinci painting, and thus the image is also supposedly sacred... this women's group seems to sanctify the DaVinci painting motif ina way resembling the same sort of idolatry that the bible supposedly forbids.

As we have seen in recent days with the Iranian president's visit, their are certain "groups" in America that hate freedom of speech and want to stifle it.
