Is it REALLY ok to be LGBTQ? A glance behind and beyond the &#;clobber passage&#;
There’s a identify for what’s happening here: proof texting.
Theopodia defines proof texting as &#;the procedure by which a person appeals to a biblical text to prove or justify a theological position without regard for the context of the passage they are citing.&#;
If you hear someone say “the Bible says…” run in the other direction. The Bible says lots of things!
Here a scant things the Bible says:
That the Earth was covered in water when created until God formed country (Genesis ) but also that the Earth was completely dry until God brought streams up and watered the planet (Genesis ).
That God created animals first and then humans (Genesis 1) but also that God created Adam first, then animals, then Eve (Genesis 2).
That’s right, the Bible contradicts itself in the first two chapters!

What Gay and Bi Men Really Want
Are physical and sexual attraction the most appealing qualities in a partner? Or are unseen qualities like good manners and reliability the most attractive?
Following on from his research into what unbent women want and what straight men want, D&M Research’s managing director Derek Jones has taken the next logical step with his latest study into what gay and bi(sexual) men want.
In order to dig deeper and attract out a true list of turn-ons and turn-offs for gay and bi men, Derek once again used of the Im-Ex Polygraph method. He originally devised this method of analysis to distinguish what people say they want from brands, products or services from what they really want by comparing stated versus derived measures of importance.
Qualities the homosexual and bi men said they desired in a partner (‘stated’) were compared to the qualities show in example celebrities they nominated as attractive (‘implied’). The same comparison was made between stated and implied negative qualities, to determine what attributes are really the biggest turn-offs.
