Protesters held a candlelight vigil at the Tron theater in Glasgow, Scotland this week on the first night of a play in which Jesus is portrayed as a transsexual.

As many as 300 protesters, carrying placards bearing messages such as "Jesus, King of Kings, Not Queen of Heaven" and "God: My Son Is Not A Pervert", gathered to sing hymns and light candles as Jesus, Queen Of Heaven, written by 59-year-old Jo Clifford, formerly John Clifford and the only performer in the play, began its run as a part of Glasgow's Glasgay! arts festival.
