Is The Urantia Book “gay friendly?”
(84:5.12)  Each sex has its own distinctive sphere of existence, together with its own rights within that sphere. If woman aspires literally to enjoy all of man’s rights, then, sooner or later, pitiless and emotionless competition will certainly replace that chivalry and special consideration which many women now enjoy, and which they have so recently won from men.

UBtheNEWS reports and research pages

In 2006, I started the UBtheNEWS project. It documents how new discoveries and scientific advances increasingly support the account of planetary history found in The Urantia Book.

Ten years later, the UBannotated website was created to provide study aids for the whole book.

Etymology

Etymology of Coined Terminology.
Urantia:
 The name of our planet.
Known in the heavens as (Uran) the “World of the Cross” (t, ia).

ur Prefix meaning “original, earliest, primitive,” from German ur- “out of, original,” from Proto-Germanic uz- “out,” from PIE ud- “up, out.” 

Uranus: First planet discovered that was not known in ancient times, named for the god of Heaven, husband of Gaia, the Earth, from Latin Uranus, from Greek Ouranos literally “heaven, the sky;” in Greek cosmology, the god who personifies the heavens, father of the titans.

uranian (adj.): Urania “Heavenly” (Greek Ourania) being an epithet of Aphrodite as born of Uranus and also as distinguished from the vulgar Venus of commonplace lust.

Urania: name of the Muse of astronomy and celestial forces, from Latin Urania, from Greek Ourania, fem. of ouranios, literally “heavenly,” from ouranos

The letter “T” looks like a cross.
(188:4.1)  It is a fact that Urantia has become known among other neighboring inhabited planets as the “World of the Cross.”

-ia: Word-forming element in names of countries, diseases, and flowers, from Latin and Greek. -ia, noun ending, in Greek especially used in forming abstract nouns (typically of feminine gender).
