Powerful



A sign saying "faggot" hangs on the cross above Christ at JesusInLove.org, the first website to focus on the queer Christ.

"Every time a gay gets bashed, Jesus is crucified again," said Kittredge Cherry, lesbian author and founder of the new website. "The anti-gay movement uses religion to justify discrimination, so even atheists can see the value in uprooting homophobia from Christian tradition."

Artists who dare to put the Easter story in a queer context have had their work destroyed - if they can find a way to exhibit it at all. Now these powerful images are available for all to see at JesusInLove.org.
