Exactly how “Christian” Florence Nightgale was, or Dunant (founr of the Internatnal Red Cross), or Barton (founr of the Amerin Red Cross) pends on whether you also believe that eethkg anti-Trarians, Universalists, mystics, and gays, n all be nsired “te Christians. The webs/articl that ny the homosexualy of Kg Jam seem fairly uned that the “evince” about Kg Jam was primarily the work of one man who really disliked him, and who spread the li about Jam after he died.

LET’S EXPLORE THE STORY OF BIBLIL NAMAKE KG JAM I AND HIS LIFELONG GAY LOVER

The reason why most of the KJV only webs are so adamant nyg the homosexualy of Jam is primarily bee of people like the “guy on Facebook” (om above) who believe that if Kg Jam was a homosexual, means that God ndon homosexualy sce the KJV Bible has flourished so much. But while the Netherlands, which 2001 beme the first untry to legalize gay marriage, has paved the wave for a queer royal to officially wear the crown, LGBTQ people have long been dog so unofficially.

We will return to this associatn between his grandmother’s readg of the KJV and her love for him our ncludg three ma purpos of this article are (1) to prent ntemporary arguments that the qutn whether Kg Jam had homosexual tennci has enormo signifince for how one views the Kg Jam Bible and petg translatns; (2) to review recent historil rearch that prents Kg Jam as havg had homosexual tennci; and (3) to prent our own nclns ncerng the signifince of this historil rearch for how the Kg Jam Bible may be viewed by Bible rears ntemporary discsnThe Kg Jam Bible has been gag creasg scholarly attentn recent years (see, for example, Daniell 2003; Katz 2004; McGrath 2001; Moynahan 2002; Nilson 2003). This view is sometim lled the “Kg Jam Only” (KJO) not all of the attentn pleas those cled to support the KJO posn, bee a nsirable amount of this attentn is due to discsn of Kg Jam’s own sexualy, particularly ncerng the qutn whether he had homosexual translatn and homosexualyIn The Facts on the Kg Jam Only Debate, Ankenberg and Weldon (1996) discs homosexualy and translatn mte. “Proponents of the KJO, ” they wre, “often claim that unbelievers, heretics, occultists, and/or homosexuals have been members of the edorial or translatn mte of the morn versns” (p.

If a homosexual person is on the translatn mtee, so the argument go, then that translatn is obvly not of God, th nfirmg the superry of the Kg Jam Bible (as is also assumed that no one on the translatn mte of the Kg Jam Versn uld possibly have been homosexual). The pot we want to lift up here, though, is that both of the thors attack the character of Kg Jam to suggt that the Kg Jam Bible is self ’s rebuttalNot surprisgly, the claim that Kg Jam had homosexual tennci has stirred up que a b of ntroversy among many supporters of the Kg Jam Bible. Gee Sweetg now Chancellor, and himself as the current Print of Moody that Kg Jam was fact a homosexual, and that such reportg was “reliable data and spirual nourishment for God’s people” (p.

In his view, Kg Jam has been acced of homosexualy, and he vot a whole chapter to “Law & History, ” which he ntends that what we have the historgraphy of Kg Jam is a se of famatn of character. He intifi those who argue that Kg Jam had homoerotic tennci or leangs as proponents of the “cril” view bee anyone who thks that Kg Jam was gay or bisexual is necsarily cricizg both the Kg and the Bible that bears his name. Even as his weak jaw and enlarged tongue explas his droolg that uld have been mistaken for French kissg, his general physil weakns acunts for his hab of hangg on other, light of the fact that the bedchamber is often ced as evince for Jam’s homosexual tennci, Coston claims that Kg Jam’s bedchamber practic were nothg out of the ordary—pecially given his physil disabili—as the practic helped protect the Kg agast plots agast his life.

82), as will be noted greater tail below, several historians have poted to the tranged relatnship between Jam and his wife and have ed this evince support of their view that he had homosexual tennci. 93), while others, pecially Bergeron (1999) have examed Jam’s letters ntext and intified the theme of homoeroticism them, Coston is not imprsed by the studi bee, on the basis of his own readg of the letters, he has nclud that “Jam ed was sentimental, but far om homosexual/bisexual” (Coston 1996, p.

75) short, Coston argu that there is ltle evince to suggt that Kg Jam was a homosexual person, and the evince that we seem to have needs to be terpreted light of the historil ntext. E., Jam was a godly man, godly men are not homosexual, therefore Jam uld not be homosexual) as follows: (1) ntemporari of Jam who acced him of homosexualy were his polil adversari and guilty of anti-Sttish bigotry; and (2) when our own ntemporari “acce” Jam of homosexualy, they are misreadg the evince.

We were also put off by the homophobia—here a leral fear of homosexualy—that seems to be drivg his arguments: “The most Jam’ statements n prove is that he had a close personal attachment to his iends and fay—and if this nvicts one of homosexualy we are all BIG trouble” (p. But he nclus om this lack of certaty about particular acts that Jam therefore did not have homosexual we will see, the se for or agast Jam’s homosexual tennci nnot, fally, be settled on such clear-cut behavral grounds.

Fally, notg that some have argued that David and Jonathan and J and John “were all probabily homosexual lovers, ” he argu that “simply bee Biblil characters kissed, profsed their love, scribed their relatnship as a unn or bond, and the like, this nnot prove homosexual tennci.

But if a man like Kg Jam fds another man handsome, keeps a picture of this man close by his heart, kiss him and profs his love public, and shar his bed wh him, are we prohibed om classifyg this behavr as maniftg “homosexual tennci” merely bee we do not have evince of anal terurse? Xxx) this is where the matter stands: on the one hand, there is what Coston lls “the official posn” of the Moody Bible Instute that the article by Karen Ann Wojahn provis “reliable data” that Kg Jam was the homosexual partner of Esme Stuart D’Aubigny and that this is self grounds for preferrg translatns of the Bible other than the KJV.

He mentns this regard a spectacular performance of Ben Jonson’s The Masque of Blackns, “which ed nsternatn and sndal, partly on acunt of s extravagance, ” and then allus to Jam’s homosexual tennci:Further ncerns were exprsed over the kg’s creasgly obv homosexual tennci, which led to certa royal favor beg granted favors that were the subject of much ment and envy. Unlike his thorough acunt of how the Kg Jam Bible me to beg, McGrath’s alln to Kg Jam’s “homosexual tennci” is exceedgly brief, a three sentence summary of a story that is equally fascatg.

Bergeron’s (1991) Royal Fay, Royal Lovers: Kg Jam and England and Stland and Young’s (2000) Jam VI and I and the History of Homosexualy provi excellent bgraphil material relatg to Jam’s “homosexual tennci” and how the tennci were unrstood and terpreted by Jam’s own ntemporari.

To place the issue of Jam’s homosexual tennci ntext, is necsary for to provi a brief acunt of Kg Jam’s fay history, centerg pecially on the fact that he was separated om his mother when barely a year old, had no ntact whatsoever wh his father, and had a very troubled Jam’s fay historyJam was born Edburgh, Stland, on June 19, 1566. The “irrencilable sir” Jam’s se, however, have much more to do wh his sire for tense and lovg relatnships wh other men spe the polil and faial sts the foregog acunt of Jam’s fay history, we have not discsed a major theme of Bergeron’s (1991) Royal Fay, Royal Lovers, the fact that his homoerotic relatnships wh men played a very signifint role the mistst and eventual emotnal distance between Jam and Anne. The them have direct bearg on the larger issue wh which we are ncerned this article, namely, the relevance of Jam’s homosexual tennci to his missng of a new translatn of the Bible to Bergeron shows Royal Fay, Royal Lovers (1991) and further explor Kg Jam and Letters of Homoerotic Dire (1999), the three major male relatnships Jam’s life were wh Esme Stuart, De of Lennox; Robert Carr, Earl of Somerset; and Gee Villiers, De of Buckgham.

BIBLE VERS ABOUT GAY PEOPLE

We have chosen, therefore, to foc our attentn on Jam’s relatnship wh Robert Carr for several reasons: this was his first signifint homosexual relatnship after he assumed the throne of England; had the greatt negative impact on his relatns wh Anne and his children; and occurred durg the perd that the Bible that he had missned was translated and Royal Fay, Royal Lovers, Bergeron (1991) discs the impact of Jam’s male relatnships on his relatnship wh Queen Anne. Yet, as anyone who reads even cursorily the enormo lerature on human sexualy that has been produced over the past few s knows, the very word “homosexual” is a very ntted, batable term, pecially when applied to earlier historil perds.

It is often poted out that bee the word homosexual did not appear until the last s of the neteenth century, is anachronistic to e , for example, reference to Kg Jam, who lived at the end of the sixteenth and begng of the seventeenth centuri. ” In eher se, this means that Jam and his ntemporari had no ncept or unrstandg of “homosexualy” per Young’s view, is te that Jam and his ntemporari did not have a ncept of “a homosexual” as distct om “a heterosexual.

On the other hand, although is probably rrect to say that homosexualy is the “ventn” of the morn world, he believ that the more morn ways of thkg about homosexualy were already unrway Jam’s time. Young acknowledg that we nnot know for certa how much this associatn of effemacy and pacifism was mere rhetoril pose and how much was genue alarm, but what we n know “is that the thors already fed effemacy as we do and lked to male homosexualy. There is no evince of homosexual relatns occurrg England on the sle that Rocke found Florence, but when they did occur, they followed the same age-differentiated do this age-differentiated pattern relate to Kg Jam?
