Big Grin
Was that intentional?

In so far as one might imagine there was truly a real Jesus who exhibited real and accurately recorded behaviors which can be fruitfully analyzed for evidence of a real underlying sexual proclivity and psychology, I would say that evidence alone is inconclusive.

Whether an individual behavior consititute evidence of homosexuality is heavily dependent on the cultural norm.  Russian men traditionally kiss eachother on the cheek as a show of familiarity.   In russian culture this would be considered polite behavior.  In American culture the homophobia would consider the appropriate reaction to this to be a fist to the mouth.
   
If we don’t know in detail what the social norm for friendly behavior is, A single behavior would be a flimsy hook upon which to hang an assessment of homosexual inclination.

Well, if you want to get technical.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.
