Waynebradybyday is the moniker used by Kevin A. Clarke. Kevin is a 24 year old, Gay/Bisexual male who graduated from the University of Central Florida with a degree in Digital Media and plans on continuing his education by applying to a Masters program in Social Work. Kevin has been aware of his sexual orientation from a very early age. Raised in a Christian-Baptist home, Kevin attended Sunday services, where he witnessed the sinful accusations targeted at Homosexual individuals. These accusations are prominently based on Scripture of the Old and New Testament in the modern Christian Bible. As Kevin developed and grew from adolescence into adulthood he extensively researched the Bible's claims. Kevin applied his knowledge of the Bible with his newfound information and discovered that not only has the Bible been altered, but Modern Christianity was heavily influenced by Paul the Apostle (Paul never met Jesus) in what is commonly referred to today as Pauline Christianity.

Homosexuality vs Christianity
Kevin still has an intense relationship with God and even considers himself a Christian. The following are the key issues that pinpoint the fallacy of the Bible's claims against Homosexuality:


 * 1) The word Homosexual appears in the New Testament, yet the word Homosexual wasn't invented until the late 1800's and didn't appear in the Bible until the 1930's. There was no word for Homosexual in the original Greek.
 * 2) The Old Testament 'clobber passages' refers to 'Man lying with Mankind' as an abomination. However the word 'abomination' is also used to refer to eating shrimp and pork. Also, the word 'abomination' that is used in this passage was mistranslated from the original Greek word, which meant 'unclean.' The term 'Man lying with mankind' is also extremely vague and is left up to interpretation. Scholars believe it may have referred to Greek Pederasty.

Documentation
Using the Waynebradybyday moniker, Kevin plans on documenting his travails, living as an openly gay/bisexual man in America. He feels America needs to see what it's like living in America as a GLBT person. Kevin hopes his plan will raise awareness for GLBT issues as well as break stereotypes for what it means to be an active member of the GLBT community.
