Paisley, Scotland, Apr 13, 2018 / 09:52 am
Bishop John Keenan of Paisley has criticized a video on homophobia posted by BBC Scotland in which the Eucharist is parodied, being said to "taste like cardboard" and "smell like hate."
The video, "This is how homophobia feels in 2018", was posted April 9 on the Facebook page of BBC The Social, a project of BBC Scotland aimed at young people.
The short film was created by Sean Lìonadh, and addresses reactions to a gay couple who are walking in a park. The narrator states that "normality is a crowd-sourced fantasy", and addresses moral failings of those who view homosexual acts as immoral.
It also depicts a man and a woman, who is pregnant, whose "normality" the narrator says will be shattered when the woman suffers a miscarriage.
