A text box explains that verses used against gay people often involve translation issues, historical misunderstanding, or biased interpretation, with a rainbow flag and 'LOVE YOUR SELF' text.
A text box summarizes that 'homosexual' wasn't in the Bible until 1946, verses are about power/abuse/ritual law, and modern scholars say none condemn consensual LGBTQ+ relationships.
A text box discusses Leviticus 18:22 & 20:13, explaining 'abomination' meant ritually unclean, not morally evil, and it was about ancient Israelite purity laws, not consensual same-sex relationships.
Weaponizing The Bible against the LGBTQIA+
I asked ChatGPT about which sections are used against the queer community and I felt validated by its response. I hope this reaches the people it needs to 💜 You’re not alone! You MATTER! Don’t let people tear you down 💜 #lgbtq🌈 #religioustraumahealing #queerchristian #gaychristian #su
