York St John’s University has been accused of discriminating against Christians by allowing the performance of a gay-themed Nativity play.

In the play, Jesus is described as the coming “King of the Gays,” while his parents are a lesbian couple named Mary and Jo. The play, called "A Gay in a Manger," is the work of the university LGBTQ network.

A preview of the play states, “Mary and Jo packed their pride flags and set off on the long journey to the best gay club this side of the Red Sea – Heaven. But when Queen Herod heard of the new King of the Gays, she began to plot for his downfall for only she could be the Queerest Icon in the Land.”

I think it is discrimination against Christians because they've based their play on a distortion of our religious text. If they had made up their own play, without any reference to the Bible, there would be no offence on religious grounds.

I get fed up when people use other people's books and change them. Some of the recent Agatha Christie tv dramatisations have been horrible. How much more upsetting it is when they are distorting God's word to us.
