The controversy surrounding Netflix special, Gay Jesus continues to go on. As one would remember, how the show's creators were under fire for the show's concept overall and protests happened.

Now, the same is under more scrutiny as the Brazilian comedy troupe, who is behind the Netflix gay Jesus Christmas Special sparking outrage in Brazil, was hit by a Molotov cocktail attack in the early hours of Dec. 24.

Two petrol bombs were thrown at the building. causing a fire, which was put out by one of the office’s security guards, according to one report,.

No one was hurt in the attack which, however, “endangered several innocent lives in the company and on the street,” Porta dos Fundos said in a press statement. Porta dos Fundos has given security cam footage of the attack to authorities.

The petrol bomb attack also comes after a petition calling on authorities to ban “The First Temptation of Christ” has notched up 2.33 million signatures.

Trouble is Jesus turns up with Orlando, a lovely young man he’s met in the desert. Orlando’s behavior suggests that he’s almost certainly gay; Jesus is never portrayed as explicitly gay but is mightily embarrassed to be discovered with Orlando.

“Porta dos Fundos condemns any act of violence. We expect those responsible for the attacks to be found and punished. However, our priority right now is the safety of the entire team that works with us,” the comedy group said after Tuesday night’s attack,

“We will speak again once we have more details,” it added, “Meanwhile, Porta dos Fundos would like to reinforce our commitment to good humor and declare that we will move on stronger, more united, inspired, and confident that Brazil will survive this storm of hatred, and love will prevail along with freedom of speech.”
