Occasional frivolity. Welcome! /r/MadeMeSmile is a place to share things that made you smile or brightened up your day. A generally uplifting subreddit. Welcome to r/Formula1, the best independent online Formula 1 community!. A subreddit dedicated to HELLDIVERS and HELLDIVERS 2, intense co-op shooters set in a satirical dystopian future where you play as one of mankind's elite soldiers determined to spread managed democracy.

Developed by Arrowhead Game Studios. We will also be in the Chicago Pride Parade on June 26th — march with us! We can have a conversation about how poorly understood these sections of the Hebrew Bible are another time.

Because today I want to focus on something a bit more fun: when our sacred texts get really queer. A LOT. However, if a donkey sat down to read the Torah they would immediately recognize each and every donkey in the story even the donkeys not explicitly mentioned! In the same way, queer folks are not reading themselves into the text — we are just aware of the fact that we are in the text, and always have been.

There are lots of queer Jewish stories out there, but here are my three favorite gay moments in our tradition. The first is at the very beginning. First, it talks about a single human being created — and then it seems to speak about multiple people or at least multiple genders. Second, we have a second narrative in the very next chapter that tells us how another human — Chava — was created from the side of this first person.

Well clearly, the first human is intersex! The rabbis explain that adam was a diasprospophone: an individual with two faces, and four arms, and four legs, and a penis, and a vagina — and that later, in that second chapter, when God realizes that this human is lonely, decides to split them in half so that they might have a companion. Although their understanding of sex and gender is different than our own, the rabbis actually conceive of six different identities including intersex folks and individuals who are nonbinary.

Pretty gay, right? The second can be found a little later in the Torah. Jacob is married to two women oh hey, polyamory : Leah and Rachel. They happen to be sisters. And they happen to feel a little tension toward each other, especially as they begin to have children. Now in their race to have the most children, both Leah and Rachel have also given their slaves Bilhah and Ziplah as concubines to Jacob.

Bilhah and Zilpah each have two sons. And Rachel has none. Because patriarchy, sons are a status symbol in the ancient near east. Both Leah and Rachel are pregnant, and Leah — being kinda of prescient — both knows she is about to have a male child AND knows that Jacob is only destined to have 12 sons the future twelve tribes of Israel. So she prays. The rabbis say: the souls of the children remain the same. How do we know?

Well the rabbis bring proof texts. Super femme. I mean, have you seen his amazing technicolor dream coat? So there we go: Dinah, original butch lesbian, and Joseph, momala of drag. This one comes from the Talmud. We have two main characters.
