Queer Christian Art

There is black Jesus, Asian Jesus, female "Christa," and now queer Jesus to set people free and heal some of the damage done in Christ's name. Many, including me, see the queer Christ Jesus as a blessing that builds faith by embodying God's wildly inclusive love for all.

Unfortunately, the assault on Claremont's gay and lesbian nativity is part of an ugly trend targeting LGBT Christian art. Many artists who use queer religious imagery have their work destroyed -- if they can find a way to exhibit it at all.
