European Union LGBT Ambassador Does Photoshoot as Trans Virgin Mary

by Laurel Duggan

 

Riccardo Simonetti, LGBT ambassador to the European Union Parliament, dressed as a transgender Virgin Mary for the cover of a Berlin-based queer magazine.

The photos show a bearded Simonetti in a tunic and veil, holding a baby who is presumably representing Jesus. In another photo he is holding the baby with another man, who appears to represent Joseph, wrapping his arms around Simonetti.

“If we ignore the fact that Jesus wasn’t white, we could as well believe the Virgin Mary had a beard, why not?” Simonetti wrote in the caption to his Instagram post.

Simonetti is German, and he became a special envoy for LGBT issues for the European Union Parliament in 2021, according to his website.

“Awesome. Very transgressive. Very brave. Now do Trans Muhammad. I dare you,” Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry of the Ethics and Public Policy Center commented on Twitter.

“How else could the famously tolerant and respectful rainbow community celebrate advent if not with a blasphemous, pointless provocation?” Peter Heltai, a Hungarian journalist, wrote on Twitter.

The left-leaning European Union has struggled with its smaller and more conservative member states in recent years as countries such as Poland or Hungary resist EU directives to acknowledge gay marriagedeemphasize Christianity, loosen abortion restrictions and join the EU in supporting shifting norms on gender identity issues.

    This laughable freak show seems quite in order here given the disordered proclivities of those involved. A life without meaningful expression of even natural love can lead an individual into silly expressions of loathing for all that is actually meaningful in the lives of others.

    When are women going to wake up and understand that this transgenderism is destroying their dignity, their special place on earth, their uniqueness? We used to treasure the REAL THING; a man who thinks he’s a woman has a problem, and a woman who thinks she’s a man has a problem.It’s not my problem, and I don’t want you destroying my religion, my culture!
