The College Fix reports:
Theology professor: Jesus was a ‘drag king,’ had ‘queer desires’The chair of New Testament Studies at Massachusetts’s College of the Holy Cross has argued that Jesus was a “drag king,” had “queer desires,” and was “gender fluid.”Professor Tat-siong Benny Liew also says the Last Supper was a “literary striptease,” according to a report by Fox News.Fox picked up the story after Holy Cross student Elinor Reilly wrote about Liew’s claims in The Fenwick Review.Using the Book of John, Liew claims that “[Christ] ends up appearing as a drag-kingly bride in his passion. If one follows the trajectory of the Wisdom/Word or Sophia/Jesus (con)figuration, what we have in John’s Jesus is not only a ‘king of Israel’ or ‘king of the Ioudaioi [Jews],’ but also a drag king.”Christ’s crucifixion, he argues, actually was a “(homo)sexual bonding of the Father and the Son”:“What I am suggesting is that, when Jesus’ body is being penetrated, his thoughts are on his Father. He is, in other words, imagining his passion experience as a sexual relation with his own Father.”
