\nA judge in Brazil has ruled that a film depicting Jesus as gay must be removed from the TV streaming service Netflix<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
A judge in Brazil has ruled that a film depicting Jesus as gay must be removed from the TV streaming service Netflix.<\/p>\n
The film, The First Temptation of Christ, infuriated fervent Christians in the country.<\/p>\n
Two million people signed a petition calling for it to be axed, and the production company was attacked with Molotov cocktails last month.<\/p>\n
In the ruling against Netflix, the judge said: \u201cThe right to freedom of expression\u2026 is not absolute.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, the ban is only temporary while a final decision is made.<\/p>\n
SEE THESE: <\/strong><\/p>\n
Why has the film caused uproar?<\/strong><\/p>\n
The parody film, which was run as a Christmas special, was created by Brazilian YouTube comedy group Porta dos Fundos.<\/p>\n
Many of the country\u2019s conservative Christians were angered by the portrayal of Jesus bringing home a presumed boyfriend to meet his family.<\/p>\n
On Christmas Eve, a group attacked Porta dos Fundos\u2019s office in Rio de Janeiro with firebombs.<\/p>\nComedy group Porta dos Fundos have won international awards<\/strong> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
One man suspected of having been part of the attack has fled to Russia, and Interpol are working to arrest him.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s in the ruling?<\/strong><\/p>\n
A judge in Rio de Janeiro ordered Netflix to take the film down, the BBC\u2019s Daniel Gallas reports from Sao Paulo.<\/p>\n
Judge Benedicto Abicai said his temporary decision would appease furious Christians until a final decision is made by a higher court.<\/p>\n
\u201cExhibiting the \u2018artistic production\u2019\u2026 may cause graver and more irreparable damage than its suspension,\u201d the judge wrote.<\/p>\n
Neither Netflix nor Porta dos Fundos has yet commented.<\/p>\n
Brazil\u2019s far-right President Jair Bolsonaro once said he would rather have a dead son than a gay son.<\/p>\n
His son, Eduardo Bolsonaro, called the Netflix show \u201cgarbage\u201d on Twitter, adding that Porta dos Fundos \u201cdo not represent Brazilian society.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
