Although no official date has been confirmed, it is expected that a film will be released, "Habit", where Jesus will be presented as a lesbian woman.
In the film, which includes Bella Thorne and English singer Gavin Rossdale, Paris Jackson, Michael Jackson's daughter, will play the female version of Jesus. Bella's character is portrayed as a "thrown girl who has a fetish with Jesus" and "in an attempt to find a solution to a violent drug situation, she disguises herself as a nun."
The film was not well received by the religious community, which described it as "Christianophobic waste". An online petition has amassed more than 260,000 signatures demanding that it not be published. Online debates suggest that the film "may confuse children" as well as an "attack on the biblical portrayal of Jesus Christ."
No other details have been released.
It is not the first time that the appearance of a different portrait of Jesus has caused controversy. In December 2019, more than 2 million people signed an online petition demanding that a platform that portrayed Jesus as gay block the broadcast.
The First Temptation of Christ was created by Porta dos Fundos, a group of YouTube comedians who portrayed Jesus as a homosexual who brings home his boyfriend, Orlando, to meet his family. Holy.
Porta dos Fundos issued a statement in which it "appreciated the artistic freedom and humor through satire and the most diverse cultural themes of our society." The group added that it believes in freedom of expression, essential in a democratic country.
