Censorship: Fire In My Belly Put Out

The National Portrait Gallery in Washington has removed a video about Aids from an exhibition after protests from The Catholic League.
Fire In My Belly was created by David Wojnarowicz in 1987 to mark and mourn the death of his lover, the artist Peter Hujar. It was part of the exhibition, Hide/Seek: Difference and Desire in American Portraiture.
The Catholic League took exception to footage of some ants crawling over a crucifix.
I'll type that again in case it hasn't sunk in: The Catholic League took exception to footage of some ants crawling over a crucifix.
The New York Times reports; "Bill Donohue, the president of the Catholic League, an advocacy group, said “A Fire in My Belly” was a form of hate speech.
“It would jump out at people if they had ants crawling all over the body of Muhammad... except that they wouldn’t do it, of course, for obvious reasons.”
“I’m not going to buy the argument that this is some statement about some poor guy dying of AIDS. Was this supposed to be a Christmas present to Catholics?”

Update: Brian Logan interviews co-curator, historian Jonathan Katz, in The Guardian, Too Shocking For America; "When will the decent majority of Americans stand against a fringe that sees censorship as a replacement for debate?"
