This week, we embark on a fabulous journey examining the Hebrew Bible through a queer lens as we explore the life and times of Joseph, the ancient world's original fashion icon. Yes, we're talking about the guy who rocked a princess robe long before it was cool. Move over, Cinderella – Joseph's coat of many colors is the ultimate wardrobe statement! We'll uncover how Joseph challenges traditional gender norms with his beauty and penchant for eye makeup. You heard that right – this shepherd boy was penciling his eyes and curling his hair like a pro. Happy Pride Month everyone!
