Designer, Mark Thaler, created two Christmas tree decorations; one with
two Josephs with the baby Jesus and another with two Marys with the baby
Jesus, effectively depicting the parents of Jesus as a homosexual
couple. This has led to criticisms from fundamentalist Christian groups
who see these designs as blasphemous...
Christian Concern, is one such fundamentalist religious groups outraged
by this decoration. They called the ornaments a ‘blasphemous attempt to
rewrite the Christmas story’ and expressed frustrations at the length to
which the LGBT community will go to normalise their behaviour.
The ornaments were being sold on an online shop, but have been taken
down following public outcry. The designer of the ornaments, Thaler, has
said that he removed the decorations only out of respect for his fellow
humans. He still sells other LGBT-themed ornaments on the online store.
