New 'Queen James' Bible Hits Bookshelves

Many contemporary Christians say that their anti-gay sentiment is not personal taste, but a historical edict from biblical canon. The most traditionally accepted version of the Bible is the King James version.

Gays in defense, especially those of faith, have long argued that the passages of the Bible are a matter of interpretation and the few passages taken as reasons to oppose homosexuality as as relevant today as being ostracized for eating shellfish. Which is why the editors of The Queen James Bible thought a new translation was in order.

The Queen James Bible, dubbed the "big, fabulous Bible", obviously takes a humorous spin on the traditional King James version, but authors says that it's purpose is more serious as an attempt to challenge the "long-standing interpretive ambiguity in key Bible passages regarding homosexuality".
