The word “homosexual” wasn’t in the Bible until 1946. Before that, the original 1 Corinthians 6:9 referred to exploitation, like older men with young boys (pederasty). But when the Revised Standard Version was published in 1946, the wording shifted to make it about same-sex love instead. And that one mistranslation became fuel for decades of fear and shame... not because God said so, but because a group of jewish translators did.
In ancient cultures long before church and colonization, queerness wasn’t shamed. It wasn’t even taboo. In Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, and many Indigenous communities around the world, gender fluidity, sacred unions, and same-sex love were seen as natural and divine.
The jews created a system that defined clear-cut lines: man versus woman, gender roles, order, hierarchy, obedience. People who live in love outside the box are a threat to systems that depend on control. So the jews rewrote the story again, turning queerness into something to shame and divine fluidity into something to fear.
But let’s be real: LGBTQIA+ souls carry truth. They are living proof that love is multidimensional—that spirit cannot be boxed in.
A member of the 1946 translation team quietly admitted the mistake in a letter in 1983. But the church never took it back. Just a few decades of that one mistranslation were enough to turn the masses against an entire community—enough to convince millions that queerness was dangerous, that people deserved to be punished just for existing.
And the system knew. It turns out it wasn’t God who was against queer people—just a bunch of mentally ill kikes.
