Portland-based photographer, Neil DaCosta, and art director, Sara Philips, include no personal political commentary with their new series, The Book of Mormon Missionary Positions. Their intention in juxtaposing a frighteningly antiquated excerpt from the Latter Day Saints handbook, condemning sex between anyone other than a married man and woman, with images of two men looking very much like stereotypical Mormon missionaries demonstrating sexual positions, is clear enough. If you can stop laughing.

Waiting for this genius and Cheyenne Tulsa to get the same sort of thing going with the Koran. C’mon, gutsy and edgy folks. Take the plunge!

Would anyone be able to stop laughing if this were juxtaposing a frighteningly antiquated excerpt from the Koran. …no, that would be insensitve, and it might get you killed, Somehow this is funny, we’re all supposed to laugh in the name of progressive tolerance. Don’t look now, your hypocrisy is showing!

If you’re so brave you jump online and make the photos! Let’s see how brave you are – these artists have made their statement, which to those of us who live in Utah is outrageous and succinct.
