"God is Gay"

Subversion should eventually give way to authentic creation. But that’s not to say it isn’t worthwhile.

I encountered the phrase “God is Gay” while reading up on Kurt Cobain. Apparently as a young lad he used to spraypaint it on buildings. Brilliant.

I myself had been recently looking for my own phrase to scrawl upon the walls, and now I see no reason to re-invent the wheel. Especially since it fits so nicely into my own psyche. At the surface there is the simple fact of upsetting the ignorant brand of small-minded christians that such a phrase caters to. I’ve always been acutely biased against these folk, so why stop now?

But as we travel down the iceburg we find the connection between this utterance and another famous proclomation: “God is Dead”. I first encountered the phrase via my teenage music-lusts. Nine Inch Nails wrote a song about it. Prior to that Jane’s Addiction had shouted it during “Had a Dad” (which coincidentally was one of Kurt’s favorite songs). But my sister schooled me to realize that it was Nietszche who first made the statement. Such rich history…

But what does such a statement mean? Does God really listen to Madonna? Is he fond of sucking on the body of Christ (or any other man for that matter)?? South Park has already exposed the sexual persuasion of Satan. Perhaps it doesn’t stop there. Perhaps, I say…
