I mean, It really wasn't in the first place-- I think I heard someone the verse was about men not sleeping with little boys.

I heard that there wasn't anything about homosexuality being a sin in the Bible on the first ones, but as time grew, that started adding to it without most people knowing. But I mean that's just something I heard, I'm not a hundred percent sure

Yeah pretty much from what I remember the church (Catholic) at the time was a big power and it helped that a lot of scriptures were in latin and had to be translated by only those who could read, it gave people the ability to change some things here and there for convenience whether bad or good that's up to our own judgement. It's like a bad version of telephone where each iteration is farther from the original one way or another.

Pretty sure there's a section in the bible about a guy living with his male lover. Didn't listen well enough to log it, just know that gay guys were in the bible o.o

the canon of the new testament was already decided during roman empire times, and over time accepted by all and reaffirmed later too (canon of trent), it's not like people could just add freely to the bible in the catholic church, some priest telling their folks some stories because no one could read is a different story tho

more importantly though anti-homosexuality stuff is already in the old testament (like leviticus 18:22 and 20:13, sodom and gomorrah) so preceding the bible

that said you can question the interpretation and translation of all the verses

Happy pride~!
