Bring on the controversy! Controversial Songs is a column that provides background information and insight into songs that raised eyebrows, stirred the pot, or were banned. The more censorship censor$hit, the better! The records that grace Controversial Songs are old and new alike, with all genres of music welcome.  In the 26^th edition of Controversial Songs (2025), we explore the controversy behind “Jesus Christ Homosexual” by Corporate Avenger.

“Not saying that it’s good / Not saying that it’s right / But the Virgin Mary might have been a hermaphrodite.” 😳 Yep, nu-metal/rap-rock band Corporate Avenger starts “Jesus Christ Homosexual” off with a controversial-assed, surely sacrilegious bang.  Beyond the song title itself, the band uses an outdated and offensive term referencing an intersex person. Oops 😬! Furthermore, they speculate, in the intro of the tenth track of Freedom Is A State Of Mind, that Mary, Jesus’ mother, might be intersex 👀.  That assertion has been explored, but most Christians, in particular, aren’t a fan of even considering such when it comes to Mother Mary. Anytime somebody notable, particularly biblical, is considered to be other in some way, it’s a hairy situation. After they motherfuckin’ go (their motherfuckin’ words, not mine), Corporate Avenger transforms a child’s mealtime prayer into something, dare I say, sus: “God is good, God is great / I think that he might be gay.” Oh, this is damnable!

“Jesus Christ Homosexual” should be taken with a grain of salt. Even with associating God as being gay 😬, the band does make a relevant point. “If Jesus Christ was God and God created all / Then Jesus Christ created the homosexual / There might be a little fag in us all!”  The choice of words, particularly the f-slur, is questionable, but far too often, homosexuality is associated with an abomination. But God did create everything, correct? Right, or so The Bible says. The second verse continues to explore the gay angle, with Corporate Avenger highlighting the gay hate purported by some Christians. “He made us in His image,” they sing, and add, “Now listen what I say / Then it’s a possibility that Jesus Christ was gay.” Outlandish? Yes, but there is a worthwhile discussion piece beyond Jesus Christ’s sexuality… It feels strange to write that statement…  Playing devil’s advocate 😈, Corporate Avenger does seem to be careful in phrasing certain things, making sure they are hypothetical.  Still, when a song is titled “Jesus Christ Homosexual”, the controversy is automatic – built in – without performing one note.  To reiterate, take this 2000s song with a grain of salt.
