A poster of Jesus and his disciples as "half-naked homosexual sadomasochists" sparked controversy at the Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco in September.

Under pressure from a media blitz orchestrated by Christian conservatives, Miller Brewing Co. asked to remove its logo from the poster.  U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was among those defending the image.

Kittredge Cherry's analysis of the image lead to lively debate at GLBT blogs.  Click here for more info

A homoerotic Christ image on the cover of a new German book is sparking international debate.

The provocative cover appears on the newly released German version of Jesus in Love, a novel about a queer Christ by Kittredge Cherry. 

The cover art by Berlin painter Alexander von Agoston shows a near-naked Jesus and John the Baptist rising from the water together after Christ's baptism.  The men's genitals shine through their wet clothes.  A shared halo affirms the union of body and spirit.
