Actress Gwyneth Paltrow isn't convinced
the Bible condemns being gay.
In
a blog post titled Homosexuality
in the Bible, the 38-year-old Glee guest star and
mother of two questions gay rights opponents' claims that the Bible
condemns gay people.
“A few months ago, in the heat of the
tragic teen suicides that came about from intolerance of
homosexuality, I saw a man on television who was apologizing for
wishing death on gays from his facebook page. This member of an
Arkansas school board was contrite for the violence in his words, but
maintained that his values pertaining to homosexuality would remain,
as he felt homosexuality was condemned in the bible. This concept,
while foreign to me, is interesting, as it used to justify so much
judgment and separation in our society.”
“When my daughter came home from
school one day saying that a classmate had two mommies, my response
was, 'Two mommies? How lucky is she?!'”
“What does it actually say in the
bible that will cause some people to be upset by my line of
thinking?” she asked rhetorically.
Paltrow signed her post with a wink,
“Happy pride.”
