The movie 1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture is currently making the rounds of film festivals where it has won a slew of awards. In 1946 the word ’homosexual’ first appeared in the Revised Standard Version (RSV) of the American Bible, the result of a committee of white, male academics deciding to merge two oblique ancient Greek nouns in translation. The resulting passages explicitly condemning male homosexuality as a sin in the eyes of God are regularly used as so-called “clobber verses” by the religious right to persecute the LGBTQ+ community. This movie chronicles the discovery of never-before-seen archives at Yale University which unveil astonishing new revelations, and casts significant doubt on any biblical basis for LGBTQIA+ prejudice.
