I am not in the business of judging someone elses morality or choice of lifestyle.
But I have noticed that here in America we have several well known Christian Evangelists that apparently hate gay people so much that they just couldn't wait to get their filthy little hands on one, even willing to actually pay money for the opportunity!
Like Ted Haggard for instance, he was the pastor of the New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado and was the president of the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) from 2003 until November 2006. Haggard's position allowed him occasional access to President George W. Bush. In 2006 it was alleged that Haggard had been regularly visiting a male prostitute who also provided him with methamphetamine. Haggard admitted his wrongdoing and resigned as pastor of New Life church and as president of the NAE. The high-profile case was significant also because it immediately preceded the 2006 mid-term elections and may have even affected national voting patterns. In January 2009, Haggard admitted to a second homosexual relationship with a male church member on CNN-TV and other national media, and when asked, would not directly answer a question about his other possible homosexual relationships.
But personally I think that if Jesus did exist...he himself was probably gay. Now according to the gospels of Phillip and Thomas it is unlikely that he was gay because in those accounts he was married and had a child. But those gospels never made it into the New Testament so they couldn't possibly be true.
But if we take the actual gospels as "truth"
1. We have a man in his 30's, unmarried...in a culture where is is unheard of for a man of that age to be without a wife.
2. Come on, we cannot just NOT acknowledge his 12 loving boyfriends.
3. The missing passage from the gospel of Mark inserted between what are verses 34 and 35 of Mark 10:
And they come into Bethany. And a certain woman whose brother had died was there. And, coming, she prostrated herself before Jesus and says to him, 'Son of David, have mercy on me.' But the disciples rebuked her. And Jesus, being angered, went off with her into the garden where the tomb was, and straightway a great cry was heard from the tomb. And going near Jesus rolled away the stone from the door of the tomb. And straightway, going in where the youth was, he stretched forth his hand and raised him, seizing his hand. But the youth, looking upon him, loved him and began to beseech him that he might be with him. And going out of the tomb they came into the house of the youth, for he was rich. And after six days Jesus told him what to do and in the evening the youth comes to him, wearing a linen cloth over his naked body. And he remained with him that night, for Jesus taught him the mystery of the kingdom of God. And thence, arising, he returned to the other side of the Jordan.
I bet Jesus taught his naked body the mysteries of the kingdom of God, and I am sure he learned them very well indeed....and a couple of other mysteries while he was at it.
4. The Apostle John is always referred as the one "Jesus especially loved", and famously was the one that put his head onto Jesus's chest during the last supper.
My gaydar is going off big time!
But what would it matter if Jesus was gay? would it negate his teachings, if the sermon on the mount was spoken by the "Queen of Queens" instead of the "King of Kings"? And if someone could prove historically beyond all doubt that in fact, Jesus was a homosexual. Would Christians then reject Jesus OR reject the evidence as usual? Your guess is as good as mine, and since you asked my religion I honestly cannot place myself anywhere, but I will go with Aggressive Atheist with Satanic leanings.
