Folsom Street Poster Has Tighty Righties Frothing
From Joe.My.God.:
Xtians On Warpath Over Folsom Poster
Last month I mentioned Folsom Street Fair’s fabulous “Last Supper” poster for this year’s event. Now Matt Barber, alpha male for the mousy Xtian hausfraus advocacy group, the Concerned Women For America (CWA), is up in arms, petitioning House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-SF), California Senators Barbara Boxer and Diane Feinstein, and Gov. Schwarzengger to “publicly condemn this unprovoked attack against Christ and His followers. We further challenge the media to cover this affront to Christianity with the same vigor as recent stories about cartoon depictions of Mohammed and other items offensive to the Muslim community.” More from CWA:
Organizers of San Francisco’s hedonistic Folsom Street Fair — sponsored by Miller Brewing, Co. — have portrayed Christ and His disciples as half-naked homosexual sadomasochists in the event’s promotional advertisement. The bread and wine representing Christ’s broken body and lifegiving blood are replaced with sadomasochistic sex toys in this twisted version of Da Vinci’s The Last Supper.
The most unimaginable and vile acts of debauchery are commonplace during the fair. Senator Larry Craig was arrested and driven out of the Senate for allegedly soliciting public ‘gay’ sex, yet during this event the city of San Francisco suspends the law and allows ‘gay’ men and women to parade the streets fully nude, many having sex — even group orgies — in broad daylight, while taxpayer funded police officers look on and do absolutely nothing. …
Sapph says: The day see people “parade the streets fully nude, many having sex — even group orgies — in broad daylight” (or even at night), I’ll… well, I’ll run right up to San Francisco with my camera.
Joe also advises a trip over to Dan Savage’s blog, where Dan runs pictures and videos of dozens of Last Supper parodies, featuring “The Sopranos,” “The Simpsons,” Legos, the Boston Red Sox, and many others — and asks the question, “Other Last Suppers: Where’s the Outrage?”
Next, here’s the predictable Big Barf Alert from the rabidly gay-bashing Lifesite.com, which apparently thinks it’s going to hurt sales of Miller beer (which makes us want to run right out and buy a case of MGD):
Miller Brewery Funds Gay Sadomasochistic Orgy on San Francisco Streets
Ad for event portrays Christ and His disciples as half-naked homosexual sadomasochists
By John-Henry Westen
SAN FRANCISCO, September 25, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Folsom Street Fair, a gay parade which has for years included full nudity and sex acts on public streets is set to take place again this year on September 30 with city approval, partial public funding and sponsorship by Miller Brewing Company. This year several Christian and pro-family groups have called for public scrutiny into the event as the ad for the event is a mockery of Christ’s Last Supper.
The ad portrays Christ and His disciples as half-naked homosexual sadomasochists with the bread and wine representing Christ’s broken body and blood replaced with sadomasochistic sex toys.
“The most unimaginable and vile acts of debauchery are commonplace during the fair,” said Matt Barber, Policy Director for Cultural Issues with Concerned Women for America (CWA). “Senator Larry Craig was arrested and driven out of the Senate for allegedly soliciting public ‘gay’ sex, yet during this event the city of San Francisco suspends the law and allows ‘gay’ men and women to parade the streets fully nude, many having sex - even group orgies - in broad daylight, while taxpayer funded police officers look on and do absolutely nothing.”
Catholic League president Bill Donohue focussed his attention on getting Miller to act on the anti-Christian ad. “There are several sponsors to this street fair, but most are local and represent niche markets; Miller is the only national household sponsor,” said Donohue. “Furthermore, Miller has a record of acceding to requests from various segments of the population that have objected to certain ads: it has bowed to the wishes of Muslims, African-American clergy, lawyers and feminists by pulling ads deemed offensive. Surely it will do the same in this instance: the ad, like the event, is morally depraved. Indeed, it is the kind of ad that only the enemies of Christians would entertain.”
“We have contacted Miller Brewing and expect that they will cooperate and do what is ethically right,” he added.
Stephen Bennett, a former homosexual who runs a ministry for those struggling to overcome same-sex attraction disorder challenged mainstream gay groups to condemn the vile anti-Christian display. “I call upon the homosexual Human Rights Campaign, GLAAD, GLSEN, and the Gay and Lesbian Task Force to publicly condemn this blatant mockery of Christians and Christianity by some within their community, and condemn this sick public display of immoral behavior,” he said.
Bennett also called on the Miller Brewing Company to pull their endorsement of the event.
Concerned Women for America is calling on California’s elected officials - Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Governor Schwarzenegger and Senators Feinstein and Boxer - to publicly condemn “this unprovoked attack against Christ and His followers.”

Hey, now they’re calling it “same-sex attraction disorder.” The only “disorder” in same-sex attraction is when you try to deny your natural — God-given — disposition.
As usual, I like what NewsHounds has to say (which brought in some 240 reader coments at last count) — and I love it that that Mancow — the sex-and-excretement freak who cost his FM broadcaster a fortune in fines in half a dozen separate violations of FCC “indecency” regulations — is the best offense the Faux News clowns can come up with:
Judge Andrew Napolitano Says Gay Last Supper Poster A Small Part of the Larger Part Of The Attack On Christianity
On Fox and Friends this morning they discussed a parade that was coming up in San Francisco with conservative radio host Mancow. It’s a block party for gays called the Folsom Street Fair. Apparently there was a picture of the last supper with men dressed risque on the poster.
Mancow went ballistic. He said that it was a disgrace and how they make a big deal about Muslim cartoons but it’s alright to pick on Christianity.
He then went on to name some celebrities who have made fun of religion, Sinead O’Connor, Kathy Griffin and others and said that he doesn’t make fun of religions, religions shouldn’t be made fun of. …
. . .
Comments: After looking at ManCow’s site it’s hard to believe that anything would be offensive to him. Judge Andrew Napolitano joined right in. We’ve had the war on Christmas and Easter and now there is a war on Christians.
Let’s think… When was the last time the Radical Religious Right hasn’t mocked the gay community? Hmmm… Yeah, we can’t think of an answer to that question, either.
By the way, it’s highly ironic that the radical evangelists are getting their knickers in a twist over a Catholic (pseudo-) fresco. The RRR hates Catholics almost as much as they hate queers. And they really would have hated the guy who painted The Last Supper; Leonardo was gay, after all. And a vegetarian. And left-handed. And…
P.S. to CWA: Leonardo’s name is “Leonardo,’ not “Da Vinci.”
