JONKOPING, Sweden, Aug. 15 (UPI) -- A melee broke out in Sweden outside a photography exhibit depicting Jesus as a homosexual.
Artist Elisabeth Ohlson Wallin created the Ecce Homo exhibit 10 years ago, and it has been controversial ever since.
On Sunday, a group of young people tried to set fire to a poster at the Jonkoping Kulturhuset, The Local reported. Staff members tried to stop them, leading to a fight involving about 30 people, said Tony el Zouki, the director of the Kulturhuset.
Jonkoping is a major center of the Swedish Evangelical movement.
"If this is some Christian group, then I really do not understand them. The message of Christianity is that people should understand and love each other," el Zouki said. "I really can't see how this can have a Biblical explanation."
