Spain: Calendar features transgender models posing as the Virgin, controversy follows

http://blabbeando.blogspot.com/2009/10/spain-calendar-features-transgender.html

A calendar released by an LGBT rights organization in Spain is raising some eyebrows for its use of religious imagery in what is a predominately Catholic country.

The 2010 calendar, which had an initial pressing of 10,000 copies, shows settings that mimic religious paintings and features transgender models dressed like the Virgin Mary.

The profane and the sacred, the aesthetic and the irreverent, were mixed in a timetable leading to the adjective a secular remarked. The secular calendar 2010 features Lesbian, gay, transgender, and bisexual men in Madrid (Cogam).

Christian organizations deem the calender offensive to the Church and talk about a "pink inquisition"
A black Madonna, with proud face, holding a disco ball and a pale baby Jesus looks out to the infinite Creator. It is the Catalan Moreneta. Montserrat gay, visible and proud. Shepherds, muscular, with tattoos, bow down before her mistress, the holy virgin transsexual. Maria with garter belt and sexy, or scary to Marias speaker kneels in front of his presence. Showing breasts.
