(PHOTOS) Oh No! See how Jesus was portrayed in this stage play


A one-woman show called “The Gospel According to Jesus, Queen of Heaven” featuring a 65-year-old woman who identifies as a trans, depicts Jesus as a transgender woman.
According to Huffington Post, the show manipulates many other biblical parables, and a screening of a past performance will be shown on November 15 at theatre in Ireland .


There’s a little sermon that reminds the audience that Jesus never had a single word of condemnation for trans people. The show is a reminder that we have existed throughout this world and many cultures have accepted and celebrated our existence.

Clifford told The Huffington Post.

The show received some serious backlash when it debuted at the Glasgay arts festival in 2009. Droves of angry Christian protesters picketed the theater, holding signs that read “God: My Son Is Not A Pervert.”

Box office staffs received death threats, and a plain-clothed police officer had to be in attendance at the live performance to make sure Clifford didn’t get attacked.

She said:

I was very upset and very traumatized, It brought back distress from early emotional abuse that I suffered. It was very clear to me that the only way I could belong to the church was through being in the closet and living a lie.
Clifford, a practicing Christian, who was estranged from her faith for many years credits her renewed Christian devotion to a particularly LGBTI-friendly church she attends in Edinburgh.
