Well, yeah, I know about that, it's really true, and not only in the Bible, but I don't think that's enough to say that the Bible is a queer text.

depending on your definition of queer, but I tend to agree

The Bible doesn't have the gender concepts contemporary Christian conservatives have, and in some sense that makes it outsider and queer - but that doesn't mean the Bible's gender and sexuality concepts are the same as contemporary queer identities.
