President Bartlet from the tv series The West Wing dropped a lot of truths and this quote about the bible is legit. Homophobes love to quote some bullshit from the bible about how homosexuality is a sin, but they conveniently forget about everything else the book says. Not to even mention that The Word ‘Homosexual’ Was Mistranslated in the Bible anyway. Anyway, here is the quote from The West Wing:
(This site is LGBTQ+ friendly and we will not tolerate any bigotry or hate speech in the comments below.)
The scene is based in an open letter by Kent Ashcraft which became viral before the scene was written. See https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/letter-to-dr-laura/
Yeah- I had read that letter but not watched the show. For a bit I was wondering if they just used random clips from the show or if this is actually a scene.
I seem to remember the bible doesn’t even say homosexuality is a sin until the King James versions were translated, before that it was saying laying with a very young man was a sin, not all men, not an expert though and cant remember where i saw that tidbit.
I would want to double check that one. I have only found really sketchy arguments- mostly dealing with the fact that certain translations didn’t use a particular word over another word.
