Moses sinned in anger against God, are we to call into question the Mosaic Law because of it?
Paul killed Christians before he was converted, can we trust his words?
I have no idea if KJ was fag or not and I don't really even care. The Word of God is something that you can verify yourself, as I have. I carried the NIV for 30 years as a lost methodist. When my friend turned me on to the KJV, I was no longer lost. This is something you should know without doubt and it won't be found reading the lies of men.
King James being a sodomist has nothing to do with Moses. The Creator views each individual by their heart and intentions. What is required for forgiving of any sin? It requires complete repentance.
To not know history and not "care" is to be easily misled through 'Pharmakeia'. Blindness saves no one. Aloofness to evil is its acceptance. The irony of King James never accepting the Authorized Version tells us perhaps King James was not repentant. It is only called 'authorized' because it was authorized to be printed. Nothing more. It doesn't mean its a bad version. Every Version has its criticism. It is our duty to ferret them out and through our God-given cognition to research and discern the interpretation.
I'm glad for you that your friend turned you on to the KJV. I have a copy myself I often reference. With me, it's only the starting point though and I won't rely on it solely. Good tidings in your research.

History is a reliance on man being truthful. The Bible is a reliance on God being truthful. In fact, when I see people that lean on the sexual mores of some king in their choice of Bible, it throws red flags up. I seek truth in the Holy Spirit, man can say what ever they want, it gets a fraction of the consideration given to God.
Here is how; compare key verses in the KJV against either the nasb, niv or esv. Focus only on those concerning the divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ. Or the Trinity. See which ones affirm and which ones deny.
For example
KJV Ephesians 3:9
And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery,
which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
NIV Ephesians 3:9
and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God,
who created all things.
Which do you believe is True?
The Authorized Version is not disqualified because of the fact King James was a sodomite. It really should not bear his name though. It's a complete misnomer to call the 'Authorized Version', the King James Bible because King James never accepted it. Because this well known fact seems to upset you, it doesn't mean the preponderance of evidence that "Queen" James was a sodomite is whisked away. The homosexuality of King James is well known and taught in theological academics. Again in theological study, it is well documented the 'Authorized Version' was never accepted by King James himself, but it was only called 'authorized' because it was authorized to be printed. Hence, the more truthful name should be 'Authorized Version'.
