Christian Students Decry Offensive Nativity Play
Faith Facts
- York St John’s University allowed a play portraying Jesus as the “King of the Gays”.
- The play featured Jesus’ parents as a lesbian couple and was produced by the university LGBTQ network.
- Christian students have raised concerns over discrimination and disrespect toward their faith.
York St John’s University has permitted the performance of a nativity play that reimagines Jesus in a manner many Christians find deeply offensive and contrary to Biblical truth.
Christians at the university argue that portraying Jesus as the “King of the Gays”, with Mary and Jo as lesbian parents, shows clear disrespect for the core tenets of the Christian faith.
Josiah Diamond, a student and former Muslim, said in response,
“This portrayal is not only blasphemous in a direct sense, but of a particular offensive and violating nature to adherents of the faith and openly opposing doctrine.”
He further questioned the university’s position.
He noted that such a mocking portrayal would not be tolerated toward other religions.
The university said the play would not be censored.
It defended the production as artistic expression under free speech law and stated,
“Freedom of speech within the law is a core principle of university activity. Following a thorough review, we have found no evidence that this event is unlawful or contravenes our legal duties.”
Christian values call for respect and reverence for sacred beliefs; believers are encouraged to stand firm in faith against such attempts to undermine Biblical teachings.

- Remembering heroic figures like Hale strengthens national resolve rooted in biblical truth.
Author Eric Metaxas recently spoke with The Christian Post about the urgent need to recall the biblical principles that shaped American self-government.
Metaxas pointed to the story of Nathan Hale, the 21-year-old patriot who was hanged by British forces 250 years ago this week, as a powerful example of sacrificial courage.
“We need to remember these heroic figures who laid down their lives for the cause of liberty,” he said.
The author stressed that such stories are not mere historical footnotes but living reminders of the Christian virtues that once defined the American experiment.
“Without these examples, we lose the moral imagination required to sustain freedom,” Metaxas added.
He urged believers and citizens alike to recover the memory of those who stood firm in faith and principle during the nation’s founding era.
