ABSTRACT
Many bisexuals draw their spiritual guidance from more than one religious tradition; in this case from Christianity and Unitarianism. Yet many Christian denominations still judge bisexual people even more negatively than they do homosexuals. The Church of England, for instance, advises bisexuals to “follow the way of holiness” and choose heterosexual marriage, rather than stay in their “ambiguous” sexuality. This kind of official church view shows a fundamental misunderstanding of bisexuals, for whom gender is not a barrier in sexual relations. With views such as this it is not surprising that very little explicit bisexual theology has developed within Christianity. Yet there are deep and profound messages for bisexuals within Christianity if one is able to see them. Bisexual love can be seen as paralleling the love of God, which is not limited by boundaries of faith, particularly from a Unitarian perspective. The story of Moses offers a parable for bisexual liberation theology, suggesting that bisexual people are called out of the closet to join in the work of liberation of all people; and that liberation itself cannot involve excluding or “ethnically cleansing” any group of people.
