For the last couple of years Romania has been bringing us a bit of a treat – a calendar full of scantily clad ‘Orthodox Priests’ – put out in support of LGBT rights. Now it’s returning for its third installment and to get us excited the cover and a preview video have been released.
It won’t come as much of a shock to discover that the notoriously homophobic orthodox branch of Christianity hasn’t had a change of heart and that these aren’t real priests. Instead they’re young men from what’s described as an ‘orthodox background’, who pose for the calendar.
This year’s edition, called ‘S.A.L.I.G.I.A., apparently pays tribute to social tolerance, ‘illustrating the ancient sins forgotten by a declining Church obsessed with demonising the LGBT community’. And for the first time it’s coming in two flavours, a mildly titillating scantily clad version and an even more risqué ‘explicit’ edition. There’ll also be a ‘making of…’ DVD you can get a preview of below. You can order your copy here.
