This is first I've ever heard of her. Ack! It's a Steven Colbert type satire, right? Shades of Anita Bryant. You were a baby then, literally, but do you remember her? Creepy.
I've never heard of this woman, but I'm guessing she is an activist for LGBTQ-marriage. And yep--the Old Testament especially is loaded with some wacky stories. I truly think, though, we(LGBTQ community)will win more folks over, if we concentrate on the LEGAL & CIVIL RIGHT TO MARRY, rather than bash religion(yes, even Old Testament Christianity!), because I think we all agree we don't care about marrying in a particular church, we care about legal& civil rights guaranteed under the law--including marriage! The 700 wives-thing, woman-as-condiment, and the dancing whores were pretty funny, though. The rape-imagery looked racist, and frankly, was not-so-funny. Just my feelings.

though most of the nutty stuff is from the old testament. which, to many of those out there, means "jews."
