A group of congress members and evangelical leaders, including the SP Council's President, Eduardo Tuma, filed a lawsuit against Netflix on Thursday, calling for censorship of the Porta dos Fundos "Christmas Special." The special portrays Jesus as gay.
Along with the National Council of the Shepherds Councils of Brazil and Bishop Robson Rodovalho, founder of the evangelical community Sara Nossa Terra, Tuma is also claiming collective moral damages of R$ 1 million.
The lawsuit, not yet considered by the court, also requires individual damages worth "not less than R$ 1,000" to all Christians who feel harmed and who qualify to claim this value.

According to the lawyer who filed the lawsuit, Ricardo Hasson Sayeg, the intention is to mobilize the evangelical community so that several people turn to the court for the right to compensation.
