Facebook once again rejects an advertisement for Kittredge Cherry's book, The Passion of Christ; A Gay Vision featuring my one and only religious painting series.
How many artists do you know who can piss off both the frothing fundamentalists, and the Randian atheists who rule Silicon Valley?
In 2014, they refused our ad because of "extreme" subject matter. This time, they called it porn.
The purgatory of the anodyne...
UPDATE:
The ban is lifted and the ad is up! Thanks to Kitt Cherry's courage and persistence!
EXTRA:
Now that the ad is up, we are starting to get hate mail from the Christian Taliban again. ho hum.
This may be the 21st Century version of being banned in Boston.
ReplyDelete"Stars in your crown" (as my mother used to say), Doug. Hang in there...
ReplyDeleteI just sent an official appeal message to Facebook. Thanks for the supportive comments. Even though this happened before, it's still hard to face. I especially like JCF's phrase "Stars in your crown." I never thought of it that way.
ReplyDeleteStars in your crown, indeed! And Doug, you are a star here on earth. So glad to hear the barrier has come down. Blessings on you and on Kitt (a star in her own right).
