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.
Given that the gospels were written between 40 and 60 years after the death of Jesus, by people who weren't eyewitnesses (even eye witnesses are quite unreliable) and had their own agendas and biases. The portrait of Jesus and his "apostles" is in no way was an accurate one.
If jesus's "ministry" was founded in part on shared escapism from homosexual self loathing, then this subtext will undoubtedly attract like to like and persist through many generations.
