“Jesus” Makes an Appearance at Korea Queer Culture Festival

Here is an image that has supposedly gone viral on the Internet from the Korea Queer Culture Festival:

An ironic image ended up embodying this year’s Korea Queer Culture Festival (KQCF). Standing in front of a line of Christian protesters bearing a banner reading “Homosexuality is sin! Return to Jesus!” is a bearded white male in robes, clearly dressed as “Jesus,” holding a rainbow-colored sign reading “I’m cool with it.” The image went viral, making the front page of Reddit Tuesday morning.

“It’s been a wild ride these last few days. I thoroughly enjoy reading the comments everywhere though,” said Robert Evans, 27, the American seen in the picture.

He recalls the picture was taken right before the pride parade departed Seoul Square. The festivalgoers were corralled by riot police, protecting them from Christian protesters. The protesters were gathered in front of the Hwangudan gate right next to the gate leading to the street where the parade would start.

“There were thousands and thousands of people just outside the frame of this photo but I guess nobody wanted to get too close to the protesters,” Evans said. “I took the opportunity to fill that space and present my message. I was aware of the banner behind me but I did not craft my sign with the specific intent of standing in front of that banner.”  [Korea Times]

Yeah the Bible’s most likely just a book of stuff some random people throughout time came up with and rewrote over and over which is passed off as the word of a god. Regardless of intent or how beneficial any advice may be the simple fact that it’s sold as the word of an infallible ever-existent being makes it one of the biggest lies thrust upon humanity.

(Goes for all “Holy” texts btw, not just the B…)

You may want to stay clear of all those Christian and Cartholic hospitals that have been built and various charities put up by them thru out Western Civ. there is bad and good, but i dont see any other religion with various food shelters and charities for people.

I’ve never been to a religious backed hospital as a patient nor have I been a beneficiary of any of their charities. Isn’t so much of any protest on my part, just that I’ve never had to.

I can’t speak to any other religions social programs but regardless of whether they exist or not the current ones are backed by institutions based on a lie.
