The bishop is a transphobe and homophobe and is behaving in a childish way, such as creating an alternative festival of Christian music, which nobody attends or is interested in. He just ends up looking silly. The way he dresses in his official robes just compounds the silliness. At the moment it's probably simplest to let him make a fool of himself in public, which he seems to be doing quite well without any further intervention on our part.

Before television people needed a memorable spectacle but, as live performance doesn't normally have camera close-ups, makeup and wardrobe departments always had to be over the top so the cheap seats at the back could see the expressions and style better. This production is ancient and modern fused into one and we shouldn't really be looking at them close up. I do like the red dress at the end of the row, though.
