HIGHER POWER LEATHER –
Jan. 12, 2023 – Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on how the United Kingdom reacted to Demi Lovato’s latest stunt:
Demi Lovato’s on-again, off-again, relationship with God blew up when authorities in the United Kingdom banned a poster for one of her albums on the grounds that it was anti-Christian. This is remarkable given the fact that Christians are now a minority in this thoroughly secular nation.
In August 2022, Lovato released her eighth album, “Holy Fvck,” but only now did she accompany it in the U.K. with a poster depicting her as Christ crucified wearing bondage attire.
The nation’s advertising watchdog organization, The Advertising Standards Authority, issued a statement about the poster saying, the “image of Ms Lovato bound up in a bondage-style outfit whilst lying on a mattress shaped like a crucifix” crossed the line. The singer was “in a position with her legs bound to one side which was reminiscent of Christ on the cross.” This, along with the title of the album, meant the poster was “likely to be viewed as linking sexuality to the sacred symbol of the crucifix and the crucifixion.”
