Drag Mary at Amsterdam Xmas show

Mon 22 Dec 2008 In: International News View at Wayback

Amsterdam's Christmas celebration for its gay community had courted controversy with its drag queen 'Mary'. Naturally, a Christian group in the city is up in arms: "By portraying Joseph and Mary as homosexuals, a twisted human fantasy is being added to the history of the Bible," Christians for Truth said in a statement. The outdoor show saw drag queen Wendy Wills don a bushy blonde wig and high-heeled black boots for her role as Mary – complete with a plastic baby doll to represent Jesus. More on this story – including a picture of Wendy Wills as Mary – is on the Associated press link below.
