Talk:The Bible and homosexuality

Center for American Progress interview with Gene Robinson
I thought about adding it to the Sodom article but decided against it: 1) The similar view of the Anglican Communion is already covered. 2) It is unclear whether Robinson argues for the homosexual rape thesis "This is not a story about two men who fall in love and pledge themselves to a monogamous, faithful, lifelong intentioned relationship. This is about homosexual rape. No one is arguing for homosexual rape—or any kind of rape—because it is an act of violence." or for the inhospitality thesis "Within the scriptures themselves, homosexual rape is not the right interpretation of Sodom and Gomorrah—yet those who argue against homosexuality keep using it." 2A02:1810:BC04:4B00:A57A:AF0B:2B41:B90F (talk) 16:11, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

Janet Edmonds
I found her work on this blog: The Clobber Verses | Serendipitydodah (wordpress.com). She is: "The author, Janet Edmonds, is a longtime member of Bethesda United Methodist Church in Bethesda, Maryland. Currently, the official policy of the United Methodist Church does not allow self-avowed practicing homosexuals to be ordained ministers, nor does it allow United Methodist clergy to officiate at same-sex marriage ceremonies or to hold these ceremonies in United Methodist churches. In addition, The United Methodist Book of Discipline currently states that, “The practice of homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teaching.” Janet wrote this booklet in September 2016 to help people understand that the Bible doesn’t say that homosexuality is a sin and with the hope of someday changing these United Methodist rules. As Christians, we are asked to seek justice. It is the author’s hope that this booklet will help to bring justice for LGBTQ individuals who have been condemned far too long." It is cited once by Same-Sex-Marriage-in-Ghana-Scripture-Health-Law-and-Bioethics.pdf (researchgate.net). 2A02:1810:BC04:4B00:A57A:AF0B:2B41:B90F (talk) 17:05, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
