The Queen James Bible

Interesting thing I just stumbled upon: The Queen James Bible. It's a version of the 1769 King James Bible that re-translates parts typically used to condemn homosexuality in order to clarify the historical context of the verses. You can read the Editor's rationale for their treatment of these passages here on their website.

Apparently King James himself was most likely a homosexual or bisexual himself. I wonder what he would think about this new book named in his honour.
