President of Brazil’s Supreme Court Reverses Decision on Porta dos Fundos’ Controversial Gay Jesus Special “The First Temptation of Christ” and Allows It Back on Netflix
Last week, it was such disheartening news to hear that Brazilian courts were banning free speech on the basis of Christians being offended, specifically about a satire depicting an alternative vision of Jesus Christ from Brazilian comedy group, Porta dos Fundos.
Thankfully, the President of Brazil’s top court has overturned the original decision claiming that one satire alone can’t undermine the values of a centuries old religion practiced by millions. The First Temptation of Christ will be thus allowed back on Netflix (and we’re sure a bunch more people are going to watch The First Temptation of Christ this time around just to see what all the controversy was about).
So, maybe Brazil hasn’t gone entirely too far right just yet?
