Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that just doesn’t know how to love Him.  This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with return guests, the team behind Sweetbitter Podcast (@sweetbitterpod), Leesa Charlotte (@leesacharlotte) and Alyse Knorr (@spikeskywalker12), to talk about why the 1973 Pope-approved rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar Should’ve Been Gay. This movie answers the question, “What if the entire story behind the crucifixion was really just about Judas having a crush on Jesus?”.  Jesus Christ Superstar is a campy masterpiece with a soundtrack that honestly slaps. It features the most dragtastic version of white Jesus we have ever seen surrounded by a bunch of leather daddies in the desert. While there are a few things in the film that had us side-eyeing the 70s (and Leigh still isn’t 100% convinced the movie she saw was not actually a porn parody), according to resident researcher Alyse, the story is actually pretty Biblically accurate.  From the homoerotic undertones of Jesus turning to all his boyfriends with a loaf of bread and being like, “eat me”, to the oddly Gelphie-coded relationship between Judas and Jesus, we explore how much better religion can be when it’s queer.  We know one thing for sure, Jesus Christ Superstar Should’ve Been Gay. Remember, you can give us your own answers to our Q & Gay on Instagram and follow along on Facebook, TikTok, Youtube and BlueSky @lezhangoutpod.
