Homophobe fail
Pay particular attention to the segment featuring Gracy Harley, who claims that she used to be a lesbian but that God made her straight and cites Luke 13:13:

"And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God."

There is a reason she cites the King James Version, and that is because in other translations, the passage says "straightened up," which make sense considering that story is about Jesus healing a woman who was "crippled," not gay.

4. That's just ignorant.
She apparently believes that 400 years ago, the translators were able to foresee 21st century slang.

6. Harry, alone in the potions room, moved toward the penseive.
...nobody was there. Snape was out of his classroom. Just a peek into Snape's past is all he needed...

It's just a believable as that line this Been-Gay quoted.
