The gay Jesus play is back on!

After drawing much scrutinty when it was set to play at Tarleton State University, where it was eventually canceled, the play has found a new home at a theater in Fort Worth, the Dallas Morning News reports.

Though a specific date for the show has not been finalized, John Jordan Otte's production of Corpus Christi is expected to debut at the 250-seat Rose Marine Theater in May.

Adam Adolfo, executive director of the theater, is offering the theater to the students free of charge, and told the Morning News that it was important to him to give the Tarleton students "a place that is safe and supportive" to present their work.

Critics, who said the play was blasphemous, caused such a stir that the university became concerned for the well-being of those in attendance. First, they blocked access to the show by making it invitation only and then canceled the production outright just hours before it was to debut.

Otte said he is a gay Christian and chose the play to help other gay youths who may be struggling with their faith.

Let's see if we can get these folks to do a "Gay Mohammed" play. I'd bet it would be so popular they could take it on the road!

I'd kick in $50 to help them fund a performance in Riyadh, or how about Cairo?

Very very ineffective.

“I wonder how blacks would respond if someone did a play depicting Martin Luther King as gay.”

For all we know, Jesus may have been black so therefore they should be offended by this play.

Nice loving thank you from Obama’s chain of command to soldiers: let them eat gay excrements.

I’ve always wondered what fire from heaven would look like.

You've never seen a good prairie thunderstorm?

I would not want to be them

Heck, even one with the shoe on the other foot, a gay mohammad would never be allowed. These people do this because they know it repulses us, they crave the reaction.

I am a Christian pervert who sees nothing wrong in placing one’s pee-pee in another’s poo-poo, nor do I see anything wrong with shoving one’s head up against another’s anus thereby ingestiing fecal matter. It’s a healthy sexual adventure that pleases God.
