I'm not sure the early Christians were repressed-gay self-loathers. They had a lot of contempt for hetero sex as well. Paul suggested that his lifestyle of celibacy was superior, with marriage being for those who "could not contain". Jesus at one point suggests self-castration to get into Heaven. Whatever their sexualities, these were people who clearly weren't comfortable with them. Straights can be self-loathers too.
If there can be said to be such a thing as spirituality, coming to terms with one's sexuality (whatever that may be) in a healthy way is essential to that pursuit. A true "Word of God" should be expected to offer better advice on matters of sex. That the Bible fails so miserably only underscores just what a fraud it is.
