A seemingly male “artist” wearing stockings, lipstick and beard stubble unveiled a re-imagining of Michelangelo’s Madonna della Pietà featuring a trans Mary and a tattooed Jesus.
Yes, really.

The original sculpture, created from 1498-99, is a marble representation of the moment when Jesus is taken down from the cross and given to Mary and is considered to be a key work of Italian Renaissance sculpture.
Respondents on X noted that this would have been considered “subversive” about 20-30 years ago and wondered why the artist didn’t consider doing something similar with Muhammad.

He reimagined it but his imaginations was gay, like him.
Balphamet unveils a blasphemous idol. I’m not sure what’s more disturbing, the picture or the yoke that unveiled it. These fuckers need to be put down. Sick fucks.
When I see crap like this, I pray for the SMOD.
And you believe this deserves more visibility?
