On Sunday, San Francisco's homosexual community and its supporters will host the annual Folsom Street Fair. This year’s event has stirred up more controversy than usual because of an advertisement mocking the famed Last Supper painting.
The gay crowd is out in force for the street fair, with public nudity and sex acts displayed without regard for children who might be attending. Ron Prentice of the California Family Council said it is the blackest of marks against a city that would make residents of Sodom and Gomorrah blush.
“It is incredibly perverse and incredibly contrary to a Christian worldview," he told Family News in Focus.
To advertise the fair, organizers put together a depiction of da Vinci’s Last Supper with leather-clad men and women posing as Jesus and his disciples. Judas apparently is portrayed by a drag queen, and Peter is wearing a leather dog mask. Jesus is portrayed by a shirtless man.
As if that weren't offensive enough, the bread and wine representing Christ’s body and blood are replaced with sadomasochistic sex toys. Click here to see the poster, but beware, you will be offended.
And taxpayers are helping to fund this debauchery.
“Police officers are on the job while this event is occurring," said Matt Barber of Concerned Women for America. "They provide security, traffic control; they provide city employees for cleanup, to put up the barriers. They block off 10 square blocks.”
