A number of artistic works have depicted Jesus as LGBT or involved in same-sex romantic or sexual relationships. Jesus' sexuality is a topic of significant academic discussion.
The Many Faces of Jesus, also called The Sex Life of Jesus and The Love Affairs of Jesus, a 1973 pornographic screenplay by Jens Jørgen Thorsen that depicted Jesus in sex acts with both men and women. After outcry and government intervention in multiple countries, Thorsen abandoned plans at producing the film, instead making a less explicit film, The Return [da], in 1992.[1]
The gay Jesus film hoax, a long-running chain letter that claims that a film will soon be released depicting Jesus as gay, initially related to The Many Faces of Jesus(see above)[3] and later including references to Corpus Christi (see below)[4]
Corpus Christi, a 1997 play depicting Jesus as a gay man from Corpus Christi, Texas, who is murdered for being gay
