@sashay.ai: You’ve probably heard “King James wrote the Bible” — but the real story is even more fascinating. In 1604, King James I of England authorized a group of scholars to create a new English translation of the Bible. The result? The King James Version (KJV) — one of the most iconic and widely used Bibles in history. So no, he didn’t sit down and write it himself… but without him, this version wouldn’t exist. His name is forever attached to a translation that shaped language, culture, and faith for centuries. 👑While there is no explicit sexual confession, the language and favoritism (granting titles, wealth, and constant proximity) strongly suggest romantic or sexual affection — especially by today’s understanding. Some historians still argue the relationships were platonic but deeply emotional, though this is debated. James was married to a woman and ruled during a time when being openly gay was unthinkable. He had documented romantic affection for men and used terms of endearment in letters. He is widely regarded today as an important queer historical figure, even if people in his own time didn’t use the same labels. #QueerHistory #LGBTQHistory #PrideMonth #HiddenHistory #GayRoyalty #StorytimeTikTok #HistoryTok #DidYouKnow #GayFacts #TrueStory #LGBTQ #Pride2025 #LearnOnTikTok #HistoryReclaimed #QueerTikTok
