Several years ago, a gay friend of mine told me about going to a Christian bookstore here in Tulsa, Oklahoma and he noticed that they were selling
FAGGOTS, too.
The manufacturer had taken tiny sticks and bundled them together and took two faggot bundles and bound them so that they would make a cross.
My friend had been a pastor of a Salvation Army "Church," before he left the closet.
Lots of people in places like Tulsa and else where just believe that the Salvation Army is just a faith-based community service organization. But, it is actually a Christian church denomination. I find it interestingly odd that a church has to go begging for money to fund its activities.
Oh, since we are talking about gay trivia here . . . , several years ago, there was a company in the San Francisco area that had (heterosexual) "Christians" owning it. They used "rainbow" in the name of the company and had a rainbow as a symbol in its company logo. Some smart-alecky "Christians" told them that they should change their name and use something besides a rainbow because a rainbow was a homosexual icon.
That was funny because according to the Bible, the God in whom the Christians believe created the rainbow and the Bible states in both the Hebrew and Christian scriptures there is a rainbow around the Throne in Heaven. The new testament book where that is also states that an angel in Heaven has a rainbow over his head. Does that make him a gay angel?
