Brazil’s Supreme Court Overturns Ban On Netflix’s Gay Jesus Film

Brazil’s Supreme Court has authorised Netflix to stream a comedy film depicting Jesus as gay after petitions requested for the film to be removed from the streaming platform.

In his ruling, the Supreme Court’s President Dias Toffoli said a satire alone did not threaten the Christian faith, ‘CNN’ reports.

“We are not neglecting the relevance of respect for the Christian faith (as well as all other religious beliefs or their absence),” Toffoli wrote. “However it should not be assumed that a humorous satire has the power to undermine the values of the Christian faith, whose existence has been for more than two thousand years.”

This ruling came after a judge from the Sixth SCivil Chamber of the Court of Rio de Janeiro ordered Netflix to “suspend the film from its platform.”
