b'In today\\u2019s episode, we received a reader question from Tumblr about the Bible not mentioning queer folks. \\u201c…if acting out a queer lifestyle is wanted by God, why does he never includes them specifically while talking about relationships? Like, he talks about marriage between man and woman and the specific moral standards of that.\\u201d The reader was wondering how come God doesn\\u2019t mention gays or lesbians. Tune in for our answer.\\nWe also queered a passage from Psalms and we love how this book, in particular, shows the broadness of human emotions instead of only showing fun and joy. This passage also reminds us how much the Bible is written for us queer folks and what Jesus is asking of us.\\nKey takeaways:\\n\\nChristmas pageant time for Fr.
