An Atlanta Theater Faces Criticism for Gay Versions of Bible Stories

What if it really was Adam and Steve? That’s what the Out Front Theater Company in Atlanta, which stages shows created only by people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or questioning, will set out to answer for audiences during a three-week run of “The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told,” starting April 27.

However, its decision to do so has provoked a torrent of criticism over the play, which has been called “blasphemous.”

[C19fan]

Real "brave" of these punks to pervert the religion of people who turn the other cheek. Let us see a production of gay version of the Quran or the hadiaths.

[EagleUSA]

The sickness of the twisted, mentally ill left.

[circlecity]

It’s best ignored. They are counting on criticism and outrage to act as free publicity for the shows.

[a fool in paradise]

What if it really was Adam and Steve?

Does not compute, neither has a womb. Try against revisionist cultural Stalinists.

[DoughtyOne]

The perversion continues.

[Zarro]

It’s best ignored.

NYT? Easily ignored, thanks.

[tuffydoodle]

If it were Adam and Steve, there would be no human race. Are they really too stupid to figure that one out?

[MeganC]

Looks like I’m going to have to go behead these blasphemers and then murder their families, too!

Oh, wait. Never mind. I’m not a muslim.

Christians can get all offended, I suppose.

But sooner a lunatic could put out the light by writing “Darkness” all over the walls of his room.

A good Christian would have some good questions for the people who are doing this. The participation occurs for various reasons.

Sometimes people just sin to sin. But sometimes people don’t see Christendom bearing witness with its lives to some important parts of the gospel message.

[HiTech RedNeck]

And for how long does that happen. NYT has all manner of ephemeral junk.

[HiTech RedNeck]

That’d be an excellent question to visit these folks with. They’ve managed to cut off their own philosophical je ne sais quoi.

The real goal: to dis the Christians. If Christians refuse to act dissed, their goal is thwarted.

[Gargantua]

It’s ‘in-your-face,’ militant homo, not-so microaggression crap like this that will bring all social acceptance of public faggotry to an end. Get back in the closet, or get tarred and feathered and driven out of town on a rail. Your choice, you sick bastards.

[Bigg Red]

Exactly. Why give them what they crave?

[fwdude]

This is par for what the Gaystapo is capable. Remember "Corpus Cristi" several years back? A revisionist sodomite play depicting a queer "Jesus" with his queer band of disciples? A scaled back production of it was planned to be presented at very conservative Tarleton State University in Stephenville, Texas (a very "Ag" school) and the local outcry resulted in the play being cancelled, understandably. Who is about 'hate' again?

It was taken up gladly by a homo "church" in Dallas, which had no problem hosting the play defaming the "Jesus" they claimed to worship.

[bar sin·is·ter]

Could have posted without that pic.

[fwdude]

I know, but we have to squarely face the evil and expose it.

Queers routinely feature booths selling these wares at their “gay pride” fairs.

[YogicCowboy]

Blasphemy against Mohammed the killer: heinous!

Blasphemy against Jesus the healer: hilarious!

If they were attacking any other religion, these people would be labeled as a hate group.
