Paris Jackson’s Portrayal as Lesbian Jesus Provokes Outrage
The portrayal of Paris Jackson, as lesbian Jesus in a new movie has, attracted thousands of signatures on a petition of protest.
The 22-year-old daughter of the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson, was featured as one of the main characters in Habit, a forthcoming movie project which featured several stars including Bella Throne and Gavin Rossdale.
The movie follows the story of a street smart party girl with a Jesus fetish; who gets mixed up in a violent drug deal and finds a possible way out by masquerading as a Nun.
Ahead of the film’s release, over 280,000 persons across the globe took to Change.org to sign a petition against the movie, which they termed “blasphemous” and a “Christianophobic garbage.”
“A new blasphemous Hollywood film is predicted to come out soon depicting Jesus as a lesbian woman,” the petition read.
“The film ‘Habit’ stars Paris Jackson who plays the role of ‘lesbian Jesus’. Distributors haven’t picked it up as of yet.
“So let’s please spread awareness and wake people up to the Christianophobic garbage that is spread nowadays; but is somehow accepted and praised by society.”
While Jackson is yet to officially address the controversy, Sia, an Australian singer-songwriter, took to her Twitter handle to write in her defense:
“Let her be a child, please. Attack me.
“It’s me that has my opinions as a 44-year-old woman. I am more than equipped to deal with us disagreeing on a subject. Let’s not ruin her music release and finding her own voice.”
