Easy To Be Brave....

STUDENTS FEAR ATTACK OVER 'GAY JESUS' PLAY

But cast stand up to Christian hardliners

By Louise Hosie

STUDENTS staging a play about a gay Jesus are taking security measures against Christian hardliners.

The fundamentalist Christian Voice group have threatened to picket the play [my emphasis], Corpus Christi, by St Andrews University theatre company Zuloo.

Christian Voice director Stephen Green branded the show 'a blasphemous, hate-filled mockery'.

But the play's director, student ZsuZsi Lindsay, said the cast would stand up for free speech.
It must be terrifying to know you're going to be picketed, no less. Can't wait to see their similar production about the life of Mohammed.
