Glasgow's transsexual Jesus

Two hundred Christian protesters picketed the Tron theatre in Glasgow last week on the opening night of Jo Clifford's play Jesus Queen of Heaven, which depicts Christ as a transsexual. It sounds as if the protesters were at least as entertaining as the play, part of the city's Glasgay! festival. One placard read: "God: 'My son is not a pervert.'" I'm wondering by what means God might have imparted this message (telephone interview?).
