A new gay Bible…? No, simply the oldest male fantasy
“And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Aida, and she slept: and he took one of her ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; and the rib, which the Lord God had taken from woman, made he another woman, and brought her unto the first.”
That’s from Genesis - yes, the Bible. Well, a new version of the Bible, as we can read in one of today’s papers:
“A gay version of the Bible, in which God says it is better to be gay than straight, is to be published by an American film producer. New Mexico-based Revision Studios will publish The Princess Diana Bible – so named because of Diana’s “many good works”, it says – online at princessdianabible.com in spring 2009. A preview of Genesis is already available, in which instead of creating Adam and Eve, God creates Aida and Eve.”
‘Princess Diana Bible’ has a certain dramatic ring to it. Like the Princess Diaries meet the King James, to have hot sex in the back seat of a car that’s being driven through Paris, before its drunk driver crashes it against a tunnel wall, killing all aboard.
If this book proves to be a commercial success, one can only hope the publishers will move on to bring us a new version of the Koran - and stick with their famous car chase theme and call it the O.J. Simpson Koran.
One thing that struck me about this gay Bible, though: It didn’t really sound all that gay to me.
For here you have a male God, creating two naked women, who then proceed to make love under His all-powerful, all-seeing & all-recording eye.
In other words, just the usual porn flick for the very conservative straight market: with God in the kind of role the majority of heterosexual males can only dream of, asking that oldest of cliché questions, “Can I watch…?”
(And God… created woman)
