Songs for the Holy Other: Hymns Affirming the LGBTQIA2S+ Community

Breitbart

A group known as the Hymn Society has released a collection titled Songs for the Holy Other: Hymns Affirming the LGBTQIA2S+ Community for liturgical use in the United States and Canada.

Among the nearly 50 “queer hymns” featured in the collection are: “God of Queer Transgressive Spaces,” “Lovely, Needy People,” “Quirky Queer and Wonderful” and “The Kingdom of God is the Queerest of Nations.”

The ecumenical, non-profit Hymn Society released the hymnal in July but it was publicized just last week by Anglican Journal, the publication of the Anglican Church of Canada, which praised the work for offering “further potential for music as a source of affirmation and inclusion.” More

  1. Are the hymns suitable for singing while your “Lovely, Needy People” are being thrown off a building or getting stoned to death by members of a not-so-inclusive religion?

  2. …sing this…

    “9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

    10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.”
    1 Corinthians 6:9-10

  3. …then sing this…

    “8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;

    9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

    10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;

    11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.”
    1 Timothy 8-11

  4. …and sing this, too…

    “25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

    26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

    27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.”
    Romans 1:25-27

  5. …then finish on this…

    ” If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.”
    Leviticus 20:13

  6. I can’t listen and won’t listen to such blasphemous crap. If I ever walked into any church and they sang these songs I would probably blow a gasket and scream at them at the top of my lungs that they’re a bunch of ungodly morons and deserve to be destroyed for thinking that these songs might please their small g gods. And I would probably swear a lot as well and get kicked out for disrupting their ungodly worship.

  7. If asked about the Homo Hymnal, I shall plumb my depths and struggle to construct a seemingly innocuous comment with sarcasm so subtle and devious that at first they will think me daft, but decide a week later that I am indeed, a bastard
