“DJesus Uncrossed” Video Used to Incite Anti-Christian Sentiment in Chicago Gay Community
[ Click above to embiggen: a clip from the latest Saturday Night Live sketch mocking our Lord and Savior, as broadcast on 2/16/2013. To watch the full clip for yourself, it's currently available on HULU.com for free, which you can watch HERE ]
Last Saturday (2/16/2013), NBC ran a parody of Quentin Tarantino films called “DJesus Uncrossed”, which was a bastardization of Django Unchained…with a lot of Inglorious Bastards thrown in for good measure (or, for bad taste, depending on your personal perspective). Saturday Night Live heavily employed a laugh track during this faux-movie trailer…so that as our Savior was mocked in various ways these disembodied voices were hysterically overcome with giggles. Such as, when it was implied by the trailer that Jesus Christ “used the N-word a lot” (and that Peter Travers, from (I believe) Rolling Stone, quipped about this).
I’m going out on a limb in noting that a similar sketch entitled DMuhahahammad Unturbaned would have never left the writers’ room at NBC…for fear of the physical consequences to Rockefeller Center and the bat-guano-crazy reaction of Muslims worldwide to a blasphemous depiction of the medieval pedophile they deem to be a “prophet”. Since “the religion of peace” is neither a religion nor peaceful, NBC endeavors never to insult or offend Muslims…because Muslims vociferously police depictions of Muhammad in all forms of media.
Christians, on the other hand, raise little outcry whenever Jesus is impugned or mocked by the likes of Saturday Night Live…and, as a result, that mockery becomes a frequent source of material for unimaginative and talentless writers on shows that were past their prime back when I was still in high school (20 years ago!). Networks like NBC won’t so much as show an actor playing Muhammad…PERIOD…but they have no problem at all running sketches that portray Jesus as a violent, racist, murderer.
This is all part of the Left’s endless war against and persecution of Christians…and it’s important that you understand the REAL role of Saturday Night Live in the Left’s greater propaganda machine within its Ministry of Truth. The reason conservatives have lost the Culture War is because too often they delude themselves into thinking, “That’s just stupid!” or “Saturday Night Live doesn’t matter!” or “The only people who watch that are crazed Lefties anyway so they are preaching to their own choir”.
In reality, Saturday Night Live’s anti-Christian propaganda doesn’t just air once and then disappear into the firmament…it’s actually picked up in lots of ways by the Left and rebroadcast in various venues where it becomes part of a bigger effort to indoctrinate the susceptible into a permanent anti-Christian mindset.
Here in Chicago, there is a textbook, classic example of this at work in Sidetrack the Video Bar…which is the largest and most prominent gay bar in the city, located on Halsted Street and owned by Art Johnston and Pepe Pena (who are essentially the “godfathers” or “Dons” of the Chicago gay community). The anti-Christian videos produced by the likes of Saturday Night Live are collected by Sidetrack’s video production team and then re-edited into smaller clips that pack the anti-Christian sentiment into smaller, more explosive bites.
Those clips are then aired repeatedly to the intoxicated customers of the bar — over and over again — so that it’s resoundingly clear to the gay community of Chicago that Christians are to be targeted, mocked, and persecuted wherever and whenever possible. Since Sidetrack is the biggest and most prominent bar…and its owners are viewed as the “Dons” of the Chicago gay community…there’s immense peer pressure for gays in Chicago to toe the line and behave in the way that Sidetrack seemingly wants them to behave (if they want to keep being welcome in the largest and most prominent gay bar in Chicago).
I’m never sure if straight people understand the importance of being socially accepted in a particular bar, especially the biggest and most prominent gay bar around. A stereotype of straight men is that they do all their business and conduct all their networking on the golf course…so in that sense belonging to the largest and most prominent country club would be the key to a successful life as a straight businessman. For straight women, success in the spheres they inhabit might involve belonging to the largest and most prominent gym or a prestigious social club like The Daughters of the American Revolution or the like.
For gay guys, if you aren’t regularly seen in the largest and most prominent gay bar and if you aren’t known widely as “a friend of the bar” then your social status in the gay community is adversely affected…and you forfeit the networking and status-enhancing opportunities afforded to regular patrons of that bar. If you’re someone who has been made to feel unwelcome in the largest and most prominent gay bar, you become a gay guy who has to miss out on all the big events in the community…and all the benefits that come with attending those events.
So, the pressure is high to be a “good guest” of an establishment and to go along with whatever trend its owners set…by behaving the way those “Dons” instruct you to behave via the videos they play in Orwellian fashion on massive screens throughout the bar.
If you’ve read 1984, you’ll remember the concept of a “Two Minutes Hate”…which is a propaganda tool used by the people in control to incite those watching a film to express hatred and rage at “the enemy” on a regular basis. Johnston and Pena orchestrate “Two Minute Hates” against Christians in the gay community on a regular basis, via the videos they regularly select for exhibition in Sidetrack…knowing that the net effect will be the strengthening of the Left’s propaganda that Christians are the “enemies of the gay community”.
Sidetrack, in fact, employs a Chicago Public School teacher named Bradley Thomas Balof as an MC and event host to really rev up the crowds against “the enemies of the gay communities”…which supplements the spirit of these videos with a live-on-stage maestro of hate who demands the crowd jeer at Christians and shout aloud how they’re going to “get them”, “stop them”, “hurt them”, or “destroy them”. Without fail, all the drunk gays in attendance raise their glasses in the air, their faces red with anger and booze, and follow Balof’s lead to scream out against the Christian “enemies”.
Can you only imagine the outrage in the national media if Muslims were the target of Sidetrack’s “Two Minutes Hate” instead of Christians. I even think that there’d be some pause if Jews were targeted, instead of followers of Christ.
I’ve tried repeatedly to interview Art Johnston to ask him why he needs to keep showing clips like “DJesus Uncrossed” in his bar, instead of just playing fun videos without any attacks made on Christians, but Johnston won’t sit down with me, answer my letters, or return my calls. I just can’t imagine doing the things he does to Christians in his bar unless he’s doing them on purpose…and that purpose is part of a larger strategy on the Left to keep this anti-Christian sentiment flowing in all the various ideological subgroups of the Left where it can take root.
What’s remarkable is the glaring hypocrisy of all of this, too, because gays are who the Left trots out to constantly claim they are persecuted by Christians…with plenty of banners reading “Christians hate gays!” at any Pride Parade event or “equality march” the gay community holds for the cameras. In another Orwellian twist, some people are more equal than others because gays actually accuse other people of doing the things they actually do to Christians themselves!
In the five years I have been running this site as an openly gay Catholic I have not even once had an experience where a Christian said anything evil at all to me for being gay…but on a sustained and regular basis I’ve had employees and customers of Sidetrack harass and malign me for being a “traitor” or “enemy of the gay community” for not renouncing my allegiance to the Church. Christians never attempt to make me choose between being gay and being Christian, but gay “Dons” like Art Johnston apply constant pressure to force gays to turn their back on Christ if they want to be accepted in the gay community.
I believe this is an orchestrated strategy on the Left, since it’s widely known that a gay man truly does need access to the largest and most prominent gay bar in a big city to thrive socially and professionally in gay circles…and the threat of cutting off access to those benefits is enough to force gay men to join the “Two Minutes Hate” that bars like Sidetrack incite against Christians with the videos they play and the speeches their staff members make.
Saturday Night Live and other entertainment arms of the Ministry of Truth provide the prepackaged material needed for the “Two Minutes Hate”…and Art Johnston serves up the venues for exhibition…and then his staff sees to it that the message is delivered to the desired targets for their anti-Christian conditioning.
This is happening where you live too, but if you aren’t a frequent visitor to or observer of the gay community you might not realize it.
But, this is how the Left won the Culture War…while Christians sat back and deluded themselves to believe “Oh, no one pays attention to that!” or “That show hasn’t been relevant in 20 years!” .

NOTE: Hulu.com has a tendency to take videos down after a while, so if you are reading this at some point in the future and the Hulu link at the top doesn’t work, I think the Amazon Instant Video link will work for as long as Amazon is around. You’d have to buy the episode of SNL to see the “DJesus Uncrossed” clip, though…and I’d advise never giving SNL or NBC any of your hard-earned money if you can avoid it. But, if you REALLY need to see the clip and Hulu is not playing it for free then I suppose this is an alternative (since NBC is very aggressive about removing its clips from YouTube):
*******************************************************
UPDATE: For those unfamiliar with Sidetrack the Video Bar and how endemic the hypocrisy is there, I want to remind you that this is the very same bar that posted photos on its official website of a friend of the bar’s owners dressed up as Adolf Hitler for last year’s Halloween party.
So, the bar’s photographer specifically picked out those photos of Adolf Hitler to appear in the prominently-promoted galleries of photos on the website, when a great many other photos were not similarly chosen for inclusion in that gallery. And no one at Sidetrack had sense enough to appreciate that Adolf Hitler and the Nazis persecuted and then executed gays back in the 1930s and 1940s. You know, in the Holocaust…which wasn’t exclusively used against Jews, but also included the elimination of gays (branded with pink triangles), gypsies, the disabled, and other minorities in German-conquered territories.
But, in the year 2013…the largest and most prominent gay bar in Chicago specifically chose to celebrate dressing up as Adolf Hitler for Halloween, like it was a good thing.
For those of you who scratch your heads at the Gaystapo’s attacks on Christians while simultaneously showing fervent deference to Muslims, include Sidetrack’s promotion of Adolf Hitler Halloween costumes with that insanity.

This is a fabulous column, Kevin. I’m so glad you’re back!
Kevin I love that you are openly gay and OPENLY CHRISTIAN! The hypocrites on the left live and die by their claims that conservatives and ESPECIALLY Christians are all haters, bigots, homophobes, etc. They will not see the hatred and phobia coming from their own mouths…..or they justify it somehow. And they just egg each other on in their own brand of hate. All the while claiming victim status. Bully for you pointing this out. I know you know the ramifications of writing this and I applaud you even more for doing it with this knowledge. I think if you ever published some of the hate letters you receive, people would be stunned to see where the real hatred is.
Don’t they realize that, whether they malign Muslims or not, sooner or later they’re going to become a target simply for being gay? Does it not occur to them that actual, believing Christians have left them alone?
Actual, believing Christians have left them alone? Sweetie, you must have missed the (ongoing) culture war where large groups of Christians are still calling for homosexuality to be illegal and for gays to be deported.
Sincerely, a southern queer.
Sad to say, I am not surprised. How convenient that those who in the past have been targets for annilhation and exterminated because they happened to be born with a “difference” are the very ones who now mock that time in history by dressing up and clowning around about a matter that is not funny now nor was it laughable then. I am afraid to say that the seeds these people are planting in their own personal as well as community garden(s) will someday come to fruition (the law of Karma or the Universe) and they will have to deal with those consequences. Of course then they will cry out bigotry and homophobia as the result when they themselves are responsible for any terrible things that come their way. All people’s need to understand that our actions have consequences and we ourselves bring unto ourselves the good and bad that often visit us.
As for the Muslim community, you are right. Not taking to task those who have already denounced a gay lifestyle as wicked, evil and needs to be done away with is something that will someday visit the gay community. Unfortunately by then it will be too late.
It all boils down to intolerance. Many having a low self image need to pick on others and criticize them so they may feel superior to them when they havein Reality become nothing more than sanctimonious narrow minded bigots themselves.
Live and let live. God created all of us just the way we are. He loves us regardless how we were born, where we were born, regardless if we worship a rock or Jesus Christ or Buddah or Krishna. If we are loving people, have kindness in our hearts and are at peace within ourselves, then that shows outwardly and we accept all people yet are filled with sadness and compassion for those who do bad things knowing that someday that hatred and evil will not only consume them but will revisit their lives, making their purpose for living a nothing.
God bless you Kevin for being who you are and secure enough in your heart and mind to speak out.
These videos should not be, they are evil as they are promoting hatred at the church and are part of the propaganda was the enemy the Illuminati and agenda 21 has agaisnt the church – to turn people into hared of the church.
This is of the devil and the church must fight back, by all means I will by the use of my website and twitter.
Kevin, I am so glad you are back and thank you for writing about this. They are mocking our Savior, the Son of the only true God but they will not prevail. They do not have God on their side.
Thank you for going out a a limb and pointing out the kowtowing to Muslims. Your words are true.
Right now all I can say is, “Stop the world, I want to get off!”
Go well, Stay well.
Sure would hate to be the makers of that film / clip / whatever (or one of its fans) on Judgment Day.
I see this sort of thing and wonder how there are still people, good people, intelligent people, out there who don’t see how Christianity is persecuted in our world.
You brought up something that reminded me of something else, Kevin. Have you ever heard the theory that the Nazis were actually homosexuals themselves? I remember hearing something about this when I was in college in the late 80s, and not too long ago, a British friend posted a link on FB to a page that brought up this idea again. According to the theory, as near as I can remember it, the Nazis were establishing their own, Germanic religion (that’s true enough, I think) that brought back the cults of the old gods, at least one of whom had what you might call a “macho” gay slant. The claim goes that the Nazis had a loathing for effeminate homosexuals but not for the masculine subgroup. In fact, they kind of didn’t consider themselves to be homosexual, but more like hyper-masculine. The book states that the highest-level Nazis were all active homosexuals of this “ultra-masculine” kind. I think the book or the theory was called “Pink Swastika.” Have you ever heard of this?
Hatchetwoman….
Did you know that Muslims don’t consider themselves gay if a guy is raping another guy…but the one being raped (usually a boy) is “gay” because he is being penetrated like a woman. So, in their minds, they can enjoy being an adult male who has sex with a boy…but they are not “gay”.
I have heard so many Muslim men say this.
There’s a big business here in Chicago where handsome young Abercrombie-looking young gay guys from the Midwest are recruiting as male prostitutes for Dubai and Kuwait…and they make a lot of money doing it and are released from their Muslim masters when they are around 26 or 27. Then they move to NY or Miami with loads of cash.
The Muslims don’t want them when they are over a certain age.
This site, and Kevin, are too good to be true. I think I am in love all over again.
Was born/raised in The Village during the transition from lower west-side tough blue-collar and artsy-beatnik to emerging gaydome. As an “at risk’ 12 year old – was “adopted” and faithfully catechized, by mature, responsible and loving (conservative) gays in the community- saved my miserable life (peers wound up in prison, and dead). Best upbringing any child could ever wish for, anywhere. Was straight, am straight, and that’s how my “padrones” wanted me, as I am and was, thank you very much.
It’s good to be Home. Thank you for your precious gifts to us, and Thank God.
Kevin … So glad you are back and better than ever! Christians are openly persecuted because like you when you give your life to
Christ there is nothing to fear. The guys that run sidetracks are projecting fear when they are openly hostile to Believers. Muslims are filled with fear and are threatened by Jews and Christians because they worship the One True God. Anything that strays from allah or the koran is never openly discussed…like Leftism their religion falls apart the minute the truth is spoken or contradicted.
Ugh! Where to begin?!
When I read this excellent post of yours, Kevin, my mind jumped to all sorts of verses relating to the manner in which so many choose to deal with God, Jesus and Christians.
One that came up right away was 2 Tim 3:1-4: “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God . . .”
Another that popped up for me was Isaiah 5:20-21: “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” These oh so “clever” writers and the Gaystapo over at Sidetrack believe themselves to be hip and above it all. They are like dogs returning to their vomit — they don’t even realize how messed up their thinking is.
David wrote in Psalms 14:1, “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.” An apt description, methinks.
My first gut reaction is to have extreme antipathy and animosity for these people and their cohorts. But upon further reflection, I try to remember the words of my Lord and Savior: “But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you . . .” (Matt. 5:44), and even more pointedly, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” (Luke 23:24)
I believe one of the things that infuriates the Left and those who hate Christianity is that when Christians truly follow the example of Jesus, it only further convicts those demeaning them.
God instructs us: “If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink: For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee.” (Prov 25:21-22)
In my opinion, if we truly pray for these poor, lost souls God will sort it out, and we will be the better for it.
I didn’t intend to go all Bible-thumper here — I just try to follow my own maxim: When in doubt, consult the owner’s manual.
By the way, when are Obama, Jay Carney, and Susan Rice going to denounce this “disgusting video”?

Good thing Christians don’t go all Benghazi when their faith is demeaned.
excellent Boblaw,
when are obama and the others going to denounce this video? you are so right!
I feel uncomfortable asking this but are the SNL writers primarily gay? Am I wrong to conclude that entertainment which disparages Christianity and mocks Christ, is driven by gay men who despise Church teaching about homosexuality?
Mary –
I have never thought about the SNL writers being gay, but I think gays are drawn to performing and artistic crafts.
It’s also much easier for a gay guy to be a writer than a straight one. Straight guys have pressure to get married and have babies…and all of that is very expensive. A gay guy doesn’t worry about starting a career in a place where he can have stable work for the next 18 years. Gay guys can afford to just think about if they have enough to pay their rent for the next few months…and if so, why not take a stab at writing for a tee-vee show.
I think, also, that wanting to write for a show like SNL also means wanting to help the Left with its propaganda efforts. And gays want to do that.
What a fascinating question. I’ll have to think and pray on this and give you a more complete answer when I have time.
Oh, and never, ever, ever feel uncomfortable asking ANYTHING. The only bad question is the one left unasked.
Whew. Thanks Kevin for the kind response. I await your contemplations on the subject.
Keep up the good work, Kevin. As a Catholic I applaud your intelligence and courage in the face of anti-Christian homo-fascism. The gay bigots are creating problems for themselves further down the line when the backlash inevitably comes.
