Tina Wood grew up in Knoxville, Tennessee and went to college at Boston
University. In her adopted home state of Rhode Island, she was involved
in successful efforts to pass several pieces of pro-LGBTQ state
legislation over the years, and also runs the email list for LGBTQ news
from Rhode Island. She has volunteered as a "search angel" who helps
adoptees, birth families, and others who are searching for family and
friends over the past several years. In 2018, at request of Kathy
Baldock and Ed Oxford, she was able to find Reverend David Sheldon
Fearon, who had written a series of letters challenging the translation
team of the Revised Standard Version on their usage of the word
"homosexual." Reverend Fearon's letters are discussed in the upcoming
documentary "1946: The Movie," and Kathy Baldock's upcoming book
"Forging a Sacred Weapon: How the Bible Became Anti-Gay."
In today's episode, Tina goes into detail how she found, the Reverend David Fearon, the seminarian who challenged the translation in the RSV Bible in regards to the use of the word homosexual. She talks about the movie, 1946 and how that was the year that the mistranslated word, homosexual, was added to the bible for the first time and has been responsible for religious trauma, abuse, and affected the mental health and lives of many queer people who have completed suicide attempts because of the mental anguish due to societal bigotry and religious pressures for us to live inauthentically.
