Artist Rises Above The Hate With Inspiring Drawings Of Same-Sex Jewish and Muslim Couples ❤️
Caleb is a trans, POC artist who makes gorgeous illustrations. One of his illustrations depicts interfaith, gay relationships and, despite the heat he took at first, he's not standing down from spreading his message of love and inclusivity.
The illustration that received backlash pictures a gay couple and lesbian couple.

Others called the pairings "impossible", sinful, and numerous people wished illness and death upon him.
