GAY SLANG 101

() Wh a transgenr woman  Congrs and the immense populary of shows like Queer Eye and RuPl's Drag Race, gay culture is currently at the foreont of mastream Filipo nscns a way has never been before. Instead, w them over wh love and LGBTQIA muny has raised the argument that the word ‘homosexual’ never occurred the Bible until 1946 and bee is a morn nstct, and not specifilly the Bible, supports their belief that beg LGBTQIA+ is not wrong bee the people translatg the Bible e to f their prejudic () etymology of the word ‘homosexual’ was first ed 1892 the English translatn of Krafft-Ebg's "Psychopathia sexualis" which was a reference work, wrten German, on sexual perversns. It n take s for new words to enter the mon language, which n expla why the term did not appear the Bible until real qutn is, once you wa through all the obftn, do the Bible teach agast the ncept of homosexualy?

There are only two plac the New Ttament where the word "homosexual" occurs the English Bible (See 1 Cor 6:9; 1 Tim 1:10) English word translated as ‘homosexual’ the NT is 'arsenoko, ' a batn of two Greek words, 'arseno, ' which means a male, and 'koe' which means a bed/marriage bed. Homosexualy is still the rrect term clilly, but even though homosexualy is no longer nsired immoral, some people feel there are still negative overton to the word given s orig. Recently I’ve seen a seri of posts throughout social media claimg that the word “homosexual” was not the bible until the mid-1940s and that the word that is currently translated as “homosexual” is more accurately translated as “pedophile.

” There are two words the New Ttament that are monly translated as “homosexual” or pertag to homosexual acts and sce I have not seen anyone pot to eher of words I’ve cid to addrs them both, arsenoko and malakos. I’m not advotg for an affirmg or non-affirmg stance, rather I am tryg to show that the translatn of an parably rare word is exceedgly difficult and to fe that words as “homosexual” whout notg the difficulty of g to that ncln is dishont and harmful to an entire people group. Malakos, another word monly translated as “homosexual” or some stanc as the passive partner homosexual sex, is equally as difficult to translate, though for different reasons.

Given that the two words are not monly ed history to refer to an outright nmnatn of homosexualy, but rather the sexual exploatn of one person om another or the sexist shamg of one man om another seems that Pl’s e of the words requir more scholarly attentn than they have been given.
