Anger and backlash has been sparked in Brazil over the controversial movie titled ‘The First Temptation of Christ’ which was made by a YouTube comedy group portraying Jesus as a gay man.
According to reports, a petition has been signed by two million people in Brazil calling for the movie which many people around the globe have frowned at over its content and disregard of religious beliefs, to be removed from the site of streaming service, Netflix.
The online petition on Change.org demanded the immediate removal of the 46-minute holiday special which portrays Jesus as being in a sexual relationship with his male friend Orlando, saying it had offended Christians.
The movie has also sparked controversy in Nigeria with author and lawyer, Reno Omokri calling for a boycott of on-demand movie platform, Netflix, if it goes ahead to show a movie that portrays Jesus as gay.
