I think it is outrageous that such a statue can possibly be called 'art' and put on display. There is no call for this. What's the guy obsessed with statues like this for? Mickey Mouse with a hard on? I hope at least Jesus was modelled a big one.If any of this stuff was tried with the Muslim faith, it would never get off the ground. They'd be too scared and there would be complete carnage. I've been wanting to stage a production called "Gay Prophet Muhammed - The Musical" but no one will help back this. I wonder why? yet it seems acceptable to attack and offend the Christian faith with no comeback? Maybe Queer Christians should be out there burning effigies in the street and issuing death threats. That would certainly stop these insults and blasphemies.Do us all a favour eMister artist eh? Go back to Hong Kong and stay there. We don't want your sensationalist smut in Newcastle or anywhere else for that matter. I'm queer and also a Protestant Christian with a strong practicing faith.

I'm neither a Christian nor a Muslim - indeed I do not have faith in any God - so I do not care how Jesus is depicted but I am sick and tired of the special privileges afforded to Islam - a 'religion' incidentally, which treats gay people far, far worse than any other.

His eyes delivered perfect sight, his nose perfect detection of odor (although she talked about "sense of smell). Later, as a teen aged boy, I wondered how on earth the rest of the body survived the shock of the first nocturnal emission--not to mention subsequent similar experiences.
