Imagine being born into a Christian family and having your sexuality regarded as an act against God rather than what it is: an inextricable part of your identity.įor too long, LGBTQ+ individuals have been made to feel guilty about their sexual identities and struggled with the internalized homophobia that develops in communities where they are seen as sinful. It’s a gay-friendly adaptation of the King James Bible, resolving the interpretive ambiguity of certain passages commonly cited as evidence that homosexuality is a sin.įor much of the history of Christian religious thought, conservative Christians have condemned homosexuality, causing immeasurable harm to the growth and self-esteem of LGBTQ+ members of Christian denominations.The Queen James Bible is an effort to undo that damage and create a queer-friendly space in Christianity for LGBTQ+ folks to find both faith and acceptance.If homosexuality is seen as a sin, how can you possibly be a good Christian and accept your LGBTQ+ identity?
For centuries, gay Christians have wrestled with what society has told them is an inherent conflict of identity.
