Ross Watson Sends Message to Vatican

Australian painter Ross Watson sends a message to the Vatican by crucifying gay porn star Francois Sagat.

"I was motivated by the Vatican's position on homosexuality, and its ban on condom use, to create a painting which references Caravaggio's 'Crucifixion of St Peter'. Francois Sagat continues to play a valuable role in the area of HIV/AIDS prevention and education. I wanted to acknowledge that in the painting, whilst tying it to the Vatican.
