Cartoonist Mr. Fish tells the
Jesus In Love blog about the above panel, which was first published
in mid-May in reaction to North Carolina's marriage ban.
"I
chose Freddie Mercury as Jesus’ partner because, a.) he is immediately
recognizable as a gay icon and b.) there is something both holy and
tragic about Mercury’s life and premature death. In many ways it is a
narrative that is not dissimilar to the Jesus narrative, both figures
inspiring of love and beauty and self-assuredness removed from corporeal
existence way too soon. In that way, they seemed like a perfect match."
