I think a known gay man in the Judas role has a huge likelyhood of creating quite a controversy. The show is set to air on Easter Sunday, arguably the holiest day in Christian religion. Thanks to the current administration with a very devoted evangelical VP and a president that is willing to exploit the ultra conservative religious right, there is a big rise in the visibility and influence of fundamental Christian population. LBGT rights as well as the rights of POC and women are under attack in the US. Casting a gay man as Judas has the potential to be another kneeling for the National Anthem moment, a deliberately misdirected controversy created to divide the country. So the question becomes does the network cast the best candidate available or the one least likely to cause backlash. POC??

POC = People/Person Of Color, which now seems to be more PC (politically correct) than African American or black and can include other non-white groups.

sizzling63 Thank you! Yes, very much. It'll be nice when/if his friends or his brother has kids, to see what he's like as an uncle. I bet he'll be a total sweet goofball. His brother has a son, Remy and also a couple of his friends have kids. ☺️ ...and yes, it's the cutest thing EVER!!! P.S.: Pink was also great and a tear ran from my eye, when I saw Kesha
