Somebody needs to write The Gay Bible.
I mean, there's a women's Bible, why not a gay Bible?

1. Those disciples were always putting the lip lock on each other.
Judas kissing on Jesus - Jesus and John kissing - I think it even says John lay next to Jesus.

Who knows, who cares, at least there was love.

2. Didn't those gay monks in the Middle Ages write it anyway? I think
they were having a bit of fun with the straights.

3. Nahh.
The existing one has plenty of same-sex love (David & Jonathan, Ruth & Naomi, "the disciple that Jesus loved," etc.). What needs to happen is that all the 'churches' who abused the bible for monetary and political gain over the last 10-20 years need to pay their damn taxes.

4. too late
American filmmaker Max Mitchell recently announced that his film production company, Revision, will publish “a gay version of the Bible, in which God says it is better to be gay than straight.” It’s to be called the Princess Diana Bible—supposedly named because of her good deeds—and Revision will “adapt and direct the revised Bible as a two-part mini-series, The Gay Old Testament and The Gay New Testament.”

5. Also the Secular Humanism Bible.
I keep being told that secular humanism is a religion in competition with christianity.
