A Gay Bible, Will You Buy?

Have you ever wanted the bible to speak your truth as a gay person?

Well, Robert Whitehead a poet and translator who is based in Brooklyn. Is proposing to translate the bible into speaking the “Gay Truth”

He is seeking for $2,000 dollars to get the book done, but has already exceeded his expected threshold.

He said of the project:

“The Queer Bible is my reclamation, through translation, of the queer mythic potential of Biblical stories. I want to make an inclusive, celebratory space within the text that undoes the implicit sexism, misogyny, heterosexism, hierarchical oppression, slut-shaming, etc. and reconstitutes the feminine, the queer, the outcast, the strange”

He has been condemned and criticized by many who claim that translating the bible into a gay scripture is unacceptable and will do no go good to the argument of Christianity and homosexuality.

Michael Arceneaux, who wrote an article about the project for the Guardian said:

“It’s a feel-good premise without actual significance, and it’s how too many progressive Christians try to soften what’s there instead of just being daring enough to smartly argue that the book is a historical text that’s not meant to be taken literally”
