A Scottish art exhibit that invites LGBT people to write themselves, literally, into a copy of the bible is being condemned by the Pope. Who else, right? Via Telegraph:
The exhibit, Untitled 2009, is part of the Made In God’s Image exhibition at the Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow and was thought up by local artist Anthony Schrag. The intention was for gays and transsexuals who felt left out of religion to “write their way back in” to the holy book.
But visitors offered pens by gallery staff had other ideas, and have scrawled a series of puerile and obscene remarks . . . complaints have led to the organisers of the exhibit putting the holy book on show in a locked case and inviting visitors to write their comments on blank sheets of paper instead.
The pope’s adviser said the project was “disgusting and offensive.” Personally, I think it sounds kinda brilliant.
