THE GLASGAY! FESTIVAL WISHES TO POINT OUT TO READERS A FACTUAL INACCURACY with regard to the following quote appearing in recent news and blogs "Glasgay!, which is supported by the city council quango Culture and Sport Glasgow, has already provoked outrage over an exhibition that encouraged the public to graffiti a Bible." !!!! CORRECTION !!!! Readers should note that Glasgay! had nothing to do with the Sh[out] exhibition’s Bible “Made In God’s Image” work which is referred to incorrectly here. This work was made by other Culture & Sport funded artists who have nothing to do with Glasgay!.
Glasgay and Shout exhibition did however co-fund Jo Clifford’s new theatrical play “Jesus Queen of Heaven” which is a literary work of fiction exploring the artists own personal journey of faith as a transgendered person. Glasgay! supports the right to freedom of expression and offers audiences a diverse view of LGBT life. This work is not intended to incite or offend anyone of any belief system however we respect your right to disagree with that opinion. We welcome genuinely interested audience members who wish to understand the artistic intention behind this work.
