Queer Positive Bible

by Vaughn Roste

Note: The son of two Lutheran pastors, Vaughn Roste is a Canadian who has worshipped and worked in Episcopalian, Presbyterian, United and Christian Reformed Churches, but his current employment is teaching at a United Methodist College. He has visited five continents and lived on four of them, holds three degrees in two different areas (theology and music), and has written one book: "The Xenophobe's Guide to the Canadians," available at Amazon.com.


This 23 page article by my good friend Vaughn Roste explains why queer people must also claim the Bible as their own. It explores the stories of Ruth and Naomi, David and Jonathan, Eunuchs, Jesus and the Centurion and evidence that Jesus was pro-gay, in an easy-to-understand format that anyone will be able to grasp.

Vaughn makes it very clear that the evidence of the Bible overwhelmingly speaks to God's love for all, just as we were created. That includes gays, straights, bi's and trans. Vaughn even addresses the aspect of Adam's sexuality before Eve was created and the concept of the Church as female with a male head. " A clearer reference to transgender body is nowhere to be found in the Bible."

This article is worth printing and keeping for reference, so I have chosen to keep it in the original formating in which Vaughn sent it to me so that you can download to your own computer and print if you choose to do so.
