‘Orthodox priests’ fight homophobia with NSFW calendar
By Will Stroude
If there’s one way we love to fight homophobia, it’s with as little clothing as possible.
The Romanian team behind the controversy-baiting ‘Orthodox calender’ are back for 2016, with possibly their most NSFW shoot yet to help demonstrate “that desires and temptations do not know gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, color, opinion or beliefs, ability, age or any other status and certainly not borders.”
This year’s edition is titled ‘Sancta Paraphilia,’ which creators say translates to “holy desires, or sexual practices that differ from the traditional,” and is also notable for the totally inspired cover image, which features Russian president Vladimir Putin and Russian Orthodox Church leader Patriarch Kirill I in some seriously skimpy lingerie.
You can take a look at some of the ridiculously hot highlights of this year’s shoot below – but be warned, they’re not for the faint-hearted…
