It biblical and subsequent religious depiction of jesus did capture the subtext of his personality makeup, then it seemed to me that Jesus himself was very much a repressed homosexual with a mix of severe self-loathing and unbridled escapist narcissism. I think many of "apostles" also seemed like repressed homosexuals with conflicted self loathing personality who sought escape by worshipping the purposed persona that Jesus created for himself. So to me it would have been truly amazing if a religion born out of this subtext did not turn out to be pathologically homophobic. To me it would also be amazing if the mildly androgynous depictions of Jesus in Christian art, the obsessive emphasis on "son", and the marginalization of a proper woman character did not in itself attract it's share of society's repressed homosexuals seeking a target to project self loathing onto.
