what they saw in Macedonia

Want to see what they saw in Macedonia? It seems our hate-the-gays faction learned the US State Dept gave some money to a Macedonian human rights group. What happens? The group rents a few billboards for a gays-are-human-too campaign. Naturally, allowing the dissemination of non-horrific images of homosexuals is anathema to our Christian hate mongers.

The images on the billboard were taken from the last in a series of photos called Ecce Homo by the artist Elisabeth Ohlson. Ohlson staged the photos as scenes from the life of Jesus surrounded gay folk (some in drag, some in leather, most in rather more casual attire). The photos are rather charming. Goofy and sincere.

Thanks to atrios and lady sisyphus for the links.
