Gay "Last Supper" Brings Predictable Uproar
Monday, April 7, 2008
The exhibition of a painting depicting a homoerotic version of Christ's Last Supper is causing a stir at Vienna's Roman Catholic Cathedral. It and other paintings (including this one of the Crucifixion) are part of a retrospective of artist Alfred Hrdlicka. The pieces on display have "attracted fierce criticism on religion blogs in Austria, Germany and even in the United States, with bloggers denouncing [them] with such terms as 'blasphemy' and 'desecration.'"
