Christ’s Passion represents - even for those who do not believe - the most authentic and true way in which his radical and revolutionary teaching - the universal love - became concrete and continues to be concrete every day, in every circumstance. However, human life is a tormented path: that’s why we all need to hear the story of that Passion of Love again and again. Especially who perceive upon them gazes of hate and not of love - of condemnation and not of salvation - need to hear it. This is the perspective of the author: he faces the Passion of the Lord coming out of anonymity and stereotyped devotional formulas, but bringing into meditation what it means to be homosexual in our time.
