    I had to explain to my idiot brother that not only did the verse he loves quoting actually say “you shall not lie with young boys as with woman” but that it was actually a jab at…ancient Greece.

    He hasn’t spoken to me in a year

      Really?? From memory that Leviticus (or exodus?) Quote specifically said woman, are you referring to an earlier translation?

        Dammit, you’re right. Will edit. Can I use caffeine deficiency as an excuse?

          I don’t think you need an excuse when it’s a low stakes matter where you acknowledged your mistake and corrected yourself

          No. Considering anyone who tries to use that verse to condemn gayness will then go and wear fabrics of different cloth, you don’t need an excuse at all
