The Bible, Christianity, & Homosexuality

I feel like the information in this study is important whether you gay, straight, christian or bible believer because at the very least you will know when The Haters are spewing their venom you will know they have no clue what they are talking about and they wont be able to use the Bible to hurt you.


The Bible, Christianity, & Homosexuality
By the Rev. Justin R. Cannon

There are many commendable books on the Bible and homosexuality which
span anywhere from a hundred to several hundred pages in length. For the curious, such books can sometimes be inaccessible or more than they
really want to read. The Bible, Christianity, & Homosexuality is a concise yet profound analysis of the Bible verses often misused to
condemn gay and lesbian Christians. This study was written to be
accessible to all, indeed, something family members and friends of gay
and lesbian Christians might actually take the time to read. The
Los Angeles Times describes this work as "...an illuminating...analysis
that argues the Bible doesn't condemn faithful gay relationships."
(McGough, 7/18/05). 



If you have netflix you can see a unrelated to the above study but with similar information
"Fish Out of Water"(2009)

Spurred by director Ky Dickens's own coming-out story, this playfully animated documentary confronts the slippery topic of homosexuality head on, homing in on Bible verses oft-cited as condemnatory and opening them to fresh interpretation. A cartoon narrator guides a broad-minded exploration of the thorny issue as a range of individuals in red states and blue, from theologians to barbershop denizens, weigh in with their experiences and beliefs.
