In his blog "Christ, The Gay Martyr", a man using the pseudonym "Stuffed Animal" writes about the relationship between God and His GLBT children. Stuffed Animal is no theologian, but rather a regular Christian believer who happens to be gay.

Recently, he has published a three-part blog entitled "The Bible Tells Me So" about the fact that he now has read through the entire Bible, using the New Oxford Annotated Bible in order to understand it better. This is something most Christians probably haven't done; in my experience many read selected parts, such as the Gospels, but few read the Bible in its entirety. Hopefully we theologians are exceptions to this, but I have my doubts.
Stuffed Animal expounds on sixteen conclusions that he has drawn based on his reading. I'm not sure I quite agree with them all, but they are interesting just the same. The conclusions are the following:
The Old Testament Is Spicy!
The Old Testament Is Boring!
Fundamentalism Is Based On Old-Testament Doctrine.
The Story of Sodom and Gomorrah Has Been Misinterpreted.
Eunuchs Are Blessed By God.
Judith Of Bethulia Is A Lesbian Icon.
If You Commit Idolatry, You're Toast!
Levitican Law Was Imposed As Punishment.
Levitican Law Has Never Applied To Christians!
Leviticus 18 Has Been Misinterpreted!
Loving Covenants Between Same-Gender Partners Are Possible.
The Gospels Have Been De-Emphasized!
Hebrew Law Is Different From Christian Law.
The 19th Chapter Of Matthew Rocks!
Jesus Christ Is The Source Of Salvation . . . Not Scripture!
Eunuchs And Virgins Don't Produce Babies.
What does he mean by all of that? Read his texts yourself and find out!
