Thy Blood - a photo on Flickriver

Thy Blood

            This is the second image in my biblically inspired series.

"If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads" - Leviticus 20:13.

"Rates of anti-LGBTQ violence remain consistent... with a substantial increase in the severity of violence reported. Transgender women, people of color, and gay men face the highest risk of homicide.. and most severe violence" - The National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs, 2014

Being a gay man, this self-portait holds a lot of weight for me. Pouring nearly a gallon of "blood" over my head in a symbolic act of defiance felt strange and morbidly ironic- but I'm happy with the resulting imagery.
