Participants in 2007 Folsom Street Fair
A taxpayer-supported "gay" celebration in San Francisco, featuring a poster portraying Jesus Christ and his disciples as "half-naked homosexual sadomasochists," has come under heavy fire from major Christian groups demanding that California lawmakers condemn it.

The poster by organizers of the Folsom Street Fair, sponsored in part by Miller Brewing, replaces the bread and wine representing Christ's blood and body with sadomasochistic sex toys.

"A picture's worth a thousand words," said Matt Barber, policy director for cultural issues with Concerned Women for America.

Barber said his group wants California's elected officials â?? including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer â?? to "publicly condemn this unprovoked attack against Christ and His followers."

The annual street event, which includes displays of nudity and sexual activity â?? is scheduled for Sept. 30.



"We further challenge the media to cover this affront to Christianity with the same vigor as recent stories about cartoon depictions of Muhammad and other items offensive to the Muslim community," he said.


Barber said homosexual activists "disingenuously call Christians 'haters' and 'homophobes' for honoring the Bible, but then lash out in this hateful manner toward the very people they accuse."

He pointed out San Francisco taxpayers help foot the bill for the fair by providing police support â?? to shut down several city blocks and provide security.

A police lieutenant confirmed officers are on the clock during the event, not paid for by the organizers.

The Folsom Street Fair website also lists San Francisco's environment department and its Grants for the Arts â??which comes out of the hotel tax fund â?? as sponsors.

"The most unimaginable and vile acts of debauchery are commonplace during the fair," Barber said.

"Senator Larry Craig was arrested and driven out of the Senate for allegedly soliciting public 'gay' sex, yet during this event the city of San Francisco suspends the law and allows 'gay' men and women to parade the streets fully nude, many having sex â?? even group orgies â?? in broad daylight, while taxpayer-funded police officers look on and do absolutely nothing."

Barber encouraged mainstream media to cover the event with cameras in hand.

"There's an unbelievable news story here," he said. "The Folsom Street Fair is reminiscent of biblical Sodom and Gomorrah, and the media should document exactly what the city of San Francisco is allowing to occur â?? in public â?? in the name of 'tolerance.'"

Catholic League president Bill Donohue urged Miller to pull its sponsorship of the event.

Donohue says his group is targeting Miller because it's the only national household sponsor.

"Furthermore, Miller has a record of acceding to requests from various segments of the population that have objected to certain ads: it has bowed to the wishes of Muslims, African-American clergy, lawyers and feminists by pulling ads deemed offensive," he said. "Surely it will do the same in this instance: the ad, like the event, is morally depraved. Indeed, it is the kind of ad that only the enemies of Christians would entertain."

Donohue said, "We have contacted Miller Brewing and expect that they will cooperate and do what is ethically right."

Let's face it, it's fun to mock Jesus. All religion for that matter.

Why not do a naked Last Supper? When will all these silly people realize religion is totally primitive?

PS

As far as I can tell, there is nothing in the poster that implies homosexuality. They're all men because that is how the story goes. As for the S&M gear, heterosexuals have been known to indulge in this fetish too.

So What?...Anti Gay Proaganda is as bad as anti Cannabis propaganda,,As for sex in the streets its smells of gay haters trying to bring the worst thing that can come to mind to bash gays...Your goverment funds a war in a irag so it can fund a gay march i think...
Please dont use these boards for Anti gay Propaganda im sure you dont like gays other wise you would nt post such scare mungering stuff,,,,,,,

[rebgirl420]

Yeah I agree with the posts above. I don't think its a big deal. Freedom of speech applies with the item even if you don't agree or like it.

i dont get it, why arent people cool with jesus even if they dont believe in him? i believe in him, he loves gay people, he just doesnt like what they do in a bed. its not like jesus hates you and does everything to make you miserable.

Freedom of speech isn't the issue. Seems it's trendy lately to justify anything as socially acceptable just because it's legal. The problem isn't that they're breaking the law, the problem is that they're being offensive, insulting, and totally disrespectful. It's called social etiquet, and social acceptability isn't based on legality.

And LandofDrought, I couldn't disagree with you more. This is not anti-homosexuality or fear mongering just because it relates to gays. It would be just as offensive if a bunch of strait men portrayed the last supper in mocking fassion.
And it certainly doesn't matter that you think religion is primitive, it's rediculous to expect Christians to just wake up and feel the same. I don't believe in God either, but I'm not about to mock the gods of others to such an excessive degree.

And I happen to have a good idea of how Christians feel, I'm getting really annoyed by these comical Buddha statues I see in stores that say something around the lines of "I may be a fatass, but I'm sure jolly too!" (something like that). I'm all for making fun, but there's a line between humor and insult that many can't seem to see.

What if instead of Jesus and the last supper, it was a Mohammad scene. There would be a huge outcry and death threats against the person who did it just like 2 years ago the cartoons in amsterdam and the grandson or great grandson of vincent van gogh was stabbed & killed with a extremists letter stuck in his back.

But back then I was with everyone saying 'why not have the cartoons. freedom of speach' so I guess I'd have to go the same with this one, even though I dont like it.

At least I have the choice to view it or not. I think that is the key in our society and why it is the best.

Just what I was thinking but then again, there are no homosexuals in Iran. LOL

Have a good one!:s4:

I'm all for live and let live. Only religious people, usually Christians, refuse to do so. They have a long history of forcing their beliefs on others.

There is nothing worse than someone who thinks they have god on their side. They are capable of anything -- just look at what's going on the in the Middle East.

Christians, Muslims, Jews, Wiccans -- they're all the same.

I'm all for pushing the envelope but this probably went a little too far. Starts looking more like the Roman Empire where pretty much anything goes. Nobody,not even the late great Jesus Christ has the right to butt in on whats going on in somebodies bedroom. But this wasn't in the bedroom.
