The man is surrounded by seven men who are wearing leather-based fetish clothing associated with BDSM fetishism.Ohlson said the photographs are meant to depict Christ supporting homosexual rights. "There [are] a lot of pictures of Jesus with heterosexual [people]," Ohlson said on Twitter. "Millions, billions of paintings, famous artists. But this is just 12 pictures of Jesus loving the LGBT rights, so 12 pictures should not be so scary for them."
