‘1946’ movie: Word homosexual first appeared in Bible in 1946

qvoicenews.com:

In the documentary “1946,” director Sharon “Rocky” Roggio combines personal experiences with thrilling historical exploration to uncover a great mystery that could shift understanding of the Bible. “1946” follows tireless researchers Kathy Baldock and Ed Oxford, who trace the origins of the anti-gay movement among Christians to a potential grave mistranslation in the biblical text.

They find that the Revised Standard Version, published in 1946 was the first time the word “homosexual” appeared in any Bible, in any translation. “1946” premieres in Los Angeles Friday at the Laemmle Noho 7 in North Hollywood.

The documentary also chronicles the discovery of never-before-seen archives at Yale University that unveil new revelations, leading the researchers to doubt any biblical basis for hating gay people.

Interwoven with the scriptural analysis is Roggio’s story. Before her career as a filmmaker, Roggio grew up in a Christian household where her father, Pastor Sal Roggio, disapproved of her sexual orientation given his understanding of the Word of God.
