The Ultimate Gay Christmas, Mary in drag.

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands — Amsterdam hosted a Christmas celebration for its gaycommunity on Sunday featuring a nativity tableau with a male Mary in drag that church organizations denounced as an affront to traditional values.

Organizers said the event was meant to raise Amsterdam's profile as a gay capital at a time when homosexuals feel threatened.

Christians for Truth, an independent religious group, had asked the city council to cancel the "Pink Christmas," event, saying it made a mockery of Christian tenets. The city did not comment.

A Gay Bible?

A gay version of the Bible, in which God says its okay to be gay and not straight, is to be published by an American film producer, Max Mitchell.

The move has already provoked upset among Christians, with the blogger Douglas Howe at the Idol Chatter site describing it as "inspired by a political agenda and one person's desire to contort not only the text but the very context of it to suit his own perspective".

Mitchell defends his publishing of the Gay Bible by stating:

"There are many different versions of the Bible; I don't see why we can't have one. Also, there are 116 versions of the Bible, why is any of them better than ours?"

And so... The God vs. Homo debate continues, as we continue to be treated as second class citizens. In many ways, gay is the new black.

All this gay Bible talk reminds me of a relevant documentary titled, For the Bible Tells Me So.
