| Blasphemy is not artistic expression. |
The grossly misnamed play, “The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told,” is scheduled to begin on December 4, and TFP Student Action is urging its members to register their protest.
A phone call to the office of the Oklahoma City University School of Theatre confirmed that the play is indeed scheduled.
UPDATE: As of 6:00 PM, Wednesday, July 13, Oklahoma Magazine deleted the event from their website, but OCU HAS NOT confirmed that the play was canceled. You can also view a saved screen shot of the listing on Oklahoma Magazine here.

Press reports say “The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told” refers to Our Lady as a lesbian. It presents a homosexual version of the Old Testament, with scenes of “Adam and Steve” in full frontal nudity.
According to The New York Times, the playwright himself is a homosexual, and this is how he describes his play: “I wanted the Garden of Eden in Central Park, and Mary as a lesbian mother, which would certainly help me comprehend immaculate conception.”
(The New York Times, 12/06/98)
The outright blasphemous, offensive and degrading content of the play puts it outside of any authentic artistic expression worthy of higher learning.
According to City Pages: “Contrary to church doctrine, the Virgin Mary turns out to be a flaky lesbian… Adam, Steve, and company have gathered in a Chelsea loft to celebrate Christmas and a second immaculate conception.” (City Pages, 01/19/00)

| Defend Our Lady's honor now by signing this protest |
Will God bless those who allow His Holy Mother to be dragged into the dirt of lesbian insults? Will He allow the Immaculate Conception to be turned into a homosexual party game?
We are walking in the shadow of God’s anger.
We must rise to the occasion and protest with all our hearts. We must show Jesus that we care, and that we love His offended Mother, and that we will defend her honor. And our prayerful protest is the only way of showing our gratitude.

This type attack on the catholic churches moral doctrines and teachings will NOT change the Churches position on homosexuality.Let me reinstate that the Catholic church`s teaching on homosexuality is unequivocal.Catholics will not be intimidated,cowed into silence or compromised in this manner.I seriously doubt any intelligent person would want to sit and watch this play anyhow.
Its artistic impression, thats all.. Comedians make fun of religion oall the time.. whats the difference.
To Alexis: we Catholics do not call homosexuals "sick perverts." The Catholic Church does not condone an active homosexual lifestyle, but homosexuals as persons are treated with respect. Why should we not expect the same in return?
How would you feel to have this play performed if the story were about your mother?
that the world is again attacking God and trashing His word.God is my father & Jesus my savior.These people who've kicked GOD
out of school & government as well as public places will pay a high price. We must try to stop them & at the same time pray for their salvation.
trying his best to destroy in every way
possible, but God is stronger than the
enemy. Let us all pray together to our
Blessed Mother that she will continue to
intercede for all the evil that's going on in our world today. May the Holy Spirit conquer all the evil, and let us
put on the armor of God, deepen our faith, entrust everything to our loving
Father, for He will deliver us, His faithful children. May God and our Blessed Mother be praised.
regards
GSN
The first amendment, freedom of speech & religion is exactly that! Freedom of people to say and do as they please, it is up to personal dispersion what you accept to be true. You simply must respect people's right to express themselves in whatever way they seem fit. This is art, this is to make a point, it is not "truth" it is a story", take it as such>>
Then, Jon, if that is so, why is it on the homosexual agenda to make it illegal for Christians to preach against homosexuality as stated in the Bible and make it a "Hate" crime? Do they not have freedom of speech?
i guess it wouldnt bother me since its just a play...further more its not your mother in the play...its mary...she didnt give birth to you or your relatives so bad example
speaking of seggreating people...catholics really know about that...huh...kind of reminds me of their crusade against homosexuals
once again...its not your mother...so linking a random women that was pre selected to give birth to jesus in your religion and a women of this time period that gave birth to you is not the same further more your taking everything further by saying you would spit and sh** on her and everything
because its different to preach against a way of life then it is to portray someone as living another way of life...any reasonable person could figure this out
America! Freedom of speech! Duh! Welcome to America, stupids! Christians aren't the only ones here!
That said, I have two sisters that are gay and they were both appalled by the subject matter of this play. It is offensive to Catholics because of the reverence we have for the Mother of Jesus.
I can hardly wait for the Spring show that exposes the homosexuality of Mohammed the Prophet. Let's see how you8 handle several billion PO'd Muslims
Lesbians can and have been betrothed to men and certainly do have children. So those arguments are pretty weak. Aside from that, this is a work of FICTION!!!
We have freedom of speech as well.
would portray him as a pedofile??? This play is GARBAGE. It should not be allowed
to be presented in a school of higher education....
contribute to the world peace.
Should we keep accusing each other and
calling each other names to make the present world even a worse place?

right so why do catholics slander the names of homosexuals because their religion says its wrong...why do catholics automatically assume that homosexuals are only about sex and being pleasured...what someone can find happiness from someone who listens or treats them good and happens to be of the same sex... theres a double standard here catholics think its ok for them to slander...but stupid play comes out....then its a crusade because they totally offended us..grow up seriously
And for that matter whats wrong with being gay? one verse in the bible... oh. well, good christians, God didn't write the bible... The fact that God makes everyone exactly how they are to be completely nullifies you're ONE argument.
Don't allow this play? Why, is it against the law? Do we live in some sort of oppressive regime. How do you know Mary wasn't gay? What is she was? Has your god taught you anything? Apparently not.
Your Sister in Christ.
How would this seem if muhammad was portrayed as a pedophile or a homosexual? I don't think OCU would even think of allowing that.
Edmund Burke
so please do something...
This is not always the case. I have not one positive thing to say about this horrifyingly offensive and evil blasphemy, and I, along with all Christians, am called to say LOUDLY and CLEARLY that this is completely unacceptable.
In OCUEdge, there is no budget, so no donors have to be worried about their money going to something they do not like. Also, the government doesn't pay a penny either, as it is a private school.
Free speech, y'all! :)
Don't you think God would like if you spent all of your time and energy not on protesting free speech (how ironic), but on things such as KONY 2012 or recycling or anything to make His world a better place (one more as He intended)? I am willing to bet that God would really appreciate the extra help in making the world a more just place.
Peace! I'm going to go donate to my favorite charity and donate my clothes to Goodwill now!
