In the Old Testament, claim the authors, Ruth's covenant with Naomi, which includes the memorable phrase, "Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live," actually refers to a committed same-sex relationship.

Please. This is what happens when the bible is taught without actually being read. If they actually read the story, they would see that Naomi counseled Ruth on how to snag a husband, Boaz. Boaz married Ruth, and they a child:

Rth 4:13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bore a son.

There's no way you can read a lesbian relationship into this. It's sick to even attempt it. It's a beautiful story about the love of a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law...really more of a mother daughter relationship.

I'm surprised they didn't call Boaz a "sex toy" to father a child on Ruth so that her barren "lover" Naomi could have a child. (/sarcasm off)
