Dovid Rosenfeld: In fact, the Sages state that we should not stare at a rainbow because it is tantamount to staring at God Himself (Talmud Hagigah 16a).

PHILIP THE QUEER EVANGELIST
Facebook message to Q Spirit:
Was Philip the Queer Evangelist?
I suspect Philip was Queer, so to speak, which probably Helped motivate his serendipitous encounter with the Ethiopian Eunuch, but, at the moment, I'm too lazy to write up a diatribe about all that, so I thought, perhaps, you might do the honors or recruit a scholarly author to elucidate my theory {thus far, there isn't much online confirmation}. Thanks, in advance!
There's no shortage of inclusive work to be done, now that Same Sex Marriage has been loosed upon the Church.

The Baptism of the Eunuch by Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn

KITTREDGE CHERRY: Literally meaning “the keepers of the bed,” the eunuchs served and guarded the women in royal palaces and wealthy households. Their employers wanted to be certain that the eunuchs would not get sexually involved with the women they were supposed to protect, so many eunuchs were castrated men, homosexual men, and intersex folk. Many, but not all, were both castrated and homosexual. Eunuchs were trusted officials who often rose to senior posts in government.
JULIE RODGERS: increasingly troubled by the unintended consequences of messages that insist all LGBT people commit to lifelong celibacy.
REV. ELDER NANCY WILSON: He was a functional, if not physical, eunuch. The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ redefined eternal life, dissociating it from the necessity to produce children.

APOSTOLIC MESSIANIC INTERNATIONAL: The Hebrew and Aramaic words used for binding and loosing originally referred to casting a magic spell that prohibited something from being used by spiritually tying it up. Loosing was the spiritual power of being able to break that spell and untie that object.

RUSSELL MOORE: Jesus has AIDS.
Some of Jesus’ church has AIDS.
AIDS is scandalous, sure. But not nearly as scandalous as a cross.
At Golgotha, Jesus became sin by bearing the sins of the world (2 Cor 5:21). Now that’s scandalous.
Jesus loves the world, and the world has AIDS.
DAVID ZVI HOFFMAN: Indeed, our Sages taught (Berakhot 5b) that there are cases where tzara'at befalls a person as 'afflictions of love.'
ANTONIO REGALADO: HIV requires the CCR5 gene to enter human blood cells.
JONATHAN MISHKIN: The right of God to appoint leadership is demonstrated in His power to instantly afflict and heal.

Timofey Bordachev: In sum, the category of "international order" may soon follow "multipolarity" into conceptual obscurity. It will be talked about, invoked in speeches, and cited in academic papers – but it will no longer describe how the world truly works. We are moving into an age where power is distributed differently, where the mechanisms of control are less formalized, and where legitimacy is negotiated in real time rather than bestowed by inherited institutions.
