King James was not gay. That comment was made by the vatican as a smear campaign against him because of the Bible. The fact of the matter is, Dr. Virginia Mollenkott was the literary critic on the NIV was/is a lesbian. However, the vatican is a very big supporter of the NIV

Rex fuit Elizabeth: nunc est regina Jacobus (Elizabeth was King: now James is Queen)
A common phrase from the time. If there was a 'smear campaign', then it dates from all the way back to when he was King of Scotland.
@#393890:
I am seriously impressed you know that!
David Moysie, writing in Memoirs of the Affairs of Scotland 1577-1603 , wrote "He conceived an inward affection to the Lord d'Aubigne, and entered in great familiarity and quiet purposes with him."
How prescient of the Catholic church to start the smear campaign a well in advance of James commissioning the book.
The fact of the matter is you are a liar and not a very good one. The "Calvinists" in Scotland(not Catholics) made him banish Esme Stewart for "carnal lust". The Anglicans(again not Catholics)in England accused him of relationships with George Villiers and Robert Carr. These are simply the three that were well proven, there were dozens more in each country suspected.
If the Vatican was a big supporter of the NIV, then it would be available in an edition with the Apocrypha, like the NRSV. Or, say, the KJV...
Jon wrote: "King James had homosexual proclivities and he hated witches, which is why MacBeth features them as sinister creatures and why the Witch of Endor's role was changed in the KJV of the Bible."
Then, to add insult to injury, George Lucas turned her into a small furry comic relief in Return of the Jedi .
Dude, he was gay/bi. He was known as "Queen James" and a popular saying at the time was "Elizabeth was King, now James is Queen." Get over it. Your precious King James Bible won't suddenly become any more obsolete than it already is. It's a lousy translation of a translation.
