The Quakers use the standard Christian bible, in whatever translation they individually prefer. Well over a century ago there were individual Quakers on the founding board of the American Bible Society.

Did the Quakers believe that the Bible was not divinely inspired?

Being brought up in a Quaker family I feel that Quakers do not doubt that the Bible was divinely inspired. Most Quakers felt and feel that the Bible is a holy book that should be read to further your knowledge of a related religion. But, and this is a point that is commonly confused with the root of your question, most Quakers do not believe the words and how the Catholic church proclaims that they are true. This is often confused with not believing in the divinity of the Bible. I hope this helps answer your question and I thank you for taking an interest in a topic such as this.

Are Quakers pro gay?

Quakers are a largely liberal denomination, and although not all Quakers are of one mind about this (there is division over this issue), generally speaking Quakers are one of the most LGBT-accepting of the older Christian denominations out there. On the east coast, Quakers tend to be less structured, often somewhat less strictly Bible/Christianity-centric and more liberal and accepting of gays, but in other parts of America, Quakerism takes on a more structured form and may be less accepting of LGBT folk.
