The whole mural thing is funny because of several reasons:
1) religious say the murals should be destroyed because they are offensive but the same religious people claim that left wing people get offended too easily (see Realist's posts above)
2) left wing people often talk about gender dysphoria, gender non-binary and homosexuality saying that even if something isn't intended as offensive, if it is offensive then it should be banned. At the same time they defend these murals even though they are considered offensive by many.
Of course this isn't all religious people and it isn't all left-wing SJWs, but the hypocrisy on this subject is quite entertaining.
So essentially you're saying all art should be banned? is that what you're getting at with these murals hacky?
The Abbott - Pell Mural
The ONLY general offensive thing I can see about this is abbotts hand down pells shorts, I concede that. However, this is the LGBT "revenge" mural on ABBOTT AND PELL NOT CHRISTIANITY. It has opened discussion, and if these real snowflakes took a moment to LISTEN to what the intended meaning behind this mural is, maybe they'd stop being offended and actually come to a compromise. The intention behind the mural is mocking abbott and pell that the SSM vote got up. Abbott and Pell have said a whole bunch of offensive, hurtful, insensitive, BIGOTED comments about the LGBT community, a whole bunch! And now that the LGBT have returned serve with ONE, WHOLE MIGHTY NUMBER OF ONE mural, with not forgetting an intended target of abbott and pell (NOT CHRISTIANITY), all the supporters of Pell are now up in arms?
Where the hell were they when there was a whole bunch of BULLSHIT coming out of Pell's mouth? Why didn't they shut him down?
The George Michael Mural
Is the George Michael mural similar in style to murals that depict Jesus or saints in Christianity? Yes, it most definitely is.
Is the intention to degrade Jesus? Well the simple answer is NO. Why do I say no, because George Michael is important to the LGBT community, he's a figure that is revered for all that he has suffered in the public eye and the many charitable actions he took out of the public spotlight. So the LGBT have a mural of a
REVERED FIGURE in the same style of murals depicted of Jesus.
So why is it that these Christians find this mural offensive? Well the answer is very very simple, the answer is because George Michael is gay. Even in their victim status their bigotry is shone to the forefront. To the LGBT being gay is not a negative thing but to the Christian community it is. So would the LGBT have this mural with an intention to "attack" christians? Nope, it's just the style of a mural to represent a saint and George Michael is a saint to them. Much the same way Christians willy nilly decide who to make a saint, the LGBT have decided that George Michael is a saint to them.
In any case, once again this comes down to christians being bigoted about certain people because of the way they were born that way.
Both murals depict different facets of the lives of the LGBT community. On the one hand you have the LGBT mocking INDIVIDUALS who have attacked them for many decades and on the other hand you have an individual who has suffered as the LGBT has suffered and who is a well known figurehead of their suffering.
NOTHING TO DO WITH CHRISTIANITY. And why does the intention of the LGBT and painter count so much? Because THEY ARE THE ONES WHO
PAINTED IT AND WHO IT REPRESENTS.
