King James the Homosexual: Fact or Fairytale?

Some historians are trying to paint a picture of King James as a homosexual, why is the question?
Is it to cast aspersions on his accomplishment of the King James Version of the Bible?
One thing we do know the answer to is that there is no evidence for making this judgment. Indeed there is a mountain of evidence against it.

Some of the biggest anti-homosexuality advocates are actually closeted gays who can't deal with their own sexuality. It's been proven before. Perhaps this is why in King James' translation of the bible, he condemns it. And notice that he mostly condemns gay men and not so much gay women. But to be honest, there's only one or two (disputable) verses on homosexuality in the bible. Modern Christians make such a big deal out of it as if it's the worst sin ever but it's really not.

@PrincessKLS Well Princess, it might actually mean that if they called it the King James Bible because he translated it. But that's not why it's called the KJV. It's called the KJV because he commissioned it. There were 47 translators. They were a collection of some of the world's best scholars. The King James Bible has been called "the monument of English prose" as well as "the only great work of art ever created by a committee".

Scholarly? Otto Scott? Bwahahahahahahaha!

Unbaised historians do not apply contemporary standards when investigating and understanding the past.

[StephenArdent]

Have you read the letters?

Why are you applying contemporary innuendo to the 1600's?

Your undisputed facts exist only in the minds of sensationalist "historians", and I use that word loosely.

While King James referred to the Earl (later Duke) of Buckingham as his "wife," the Earl/Duke referred to the King as his "husband". The letters, the King, the Earl/Duke speak for themselves, no "historical revisionism" -----read: correction (by unbiased historians unafraid of the truth) of the distortions and erasures of homosexuality from the historical record (by homophobic historians too frightened to admit the commissioner of a Holy Bible could be a homosexual)------ necessary.

That mofo was not black....I think they would let a black person on this days have any credit of bringing out a Bible....his gay azz just have his own "version" of what he thought religion should be..just like of I took how book, rewrite it, got rid of all his and presented my

" version"...shiiiiiit...wake up

[waxonify]

@PrincessKLS The blacks like to think he (JamesVI and I) was black. He wasn't black but he most certainly was a faggot. Also using your stupid faggot reasoning, 'heterophobes', (which is about every ball sniffing but fondling queer out there) is probably a straight. Furthermore the people have condemned sodomy not what you re-label 'gay'/'faggotry' as gay was not a word then. Faggot was just a filthy way of behaving before the real revisionists had it removed from the list of mental illnesses.

TSK TSK TSK THE CONTINUED GARBAGE OF THE AGES............NO ONE TRULY KNOWS ANYTHING.......EVEN YOUR PANEL OF SCHOLARS......................­.......THAT HAS BEEN THE FALL OF MAN SINCE THE BEGINING!!!

[foreverarealist]

IT MATTERS NONE WHO OR WHAT KING JAMES WAS OR WASNT, AS FAR AS THE COMPILATION OF THE SCRIPTURES ARE CONCERNED..IT WAS DONE DURING HIS REIGN....AND???? WHOM EVER WAS IN POWER COULD NOT CHANGE WHAT IS WRITTEN UPON OUR HEARTS UNDENIABLY INSPIRED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, I DO NOT TAKE ANY TRANSLATION LITERAL ...IT MUST BE TRANSPIRED BY GOD THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT.

It has nothing to do with the KJV. That was translated by a group of scholars, not by the King. However, it is not true to say that the stories about King James himself began only 25 years ago. They were current during his reign. He, like Edward and Richard "Lion Heart" (and his love affair with Phillip of France) were talked about (with less malice than in the 20th century) in their own life-times. It has been no great secret.

Best I could tell from what I read about him, was that he was a Tyrant and a coward who messed on himself when he saw a battle. He forced a retrial of a woman who was acquitted for witchcraft and forced the jury to convict her after she had been exonerated. He was a turd for sure.

In those days the mother would give the son sex education lessons;literally.

@vincent15641 And why would a heterosexual be perfect and a homosexual be non-perfect?

[franzgrabe1]

@ahbilyon Correct!!!!
