CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — A historian of early Christianity at Harvard Divinity School has identified a scrap of papyrus that she says was written in Coptic in the fourth century and contains a phrase never seen in any piece of Scripture: “Jesus said to them, ‘My wife …'”

The faded papyrus fragment is smaller than a business card, with eight lines on one side, in black ink legible under a magnifying glass. Just below the line about Jesus having a wife, the papyrus includes a second provocative clause that purportedly says, “she will be able to be my disciple.”

At least in this tradition you don't have to worry about your godboy being gay.

Well Gospel writing was an industry back then, so it is not surprising that a gospel would have been written that portrayed Jesus as has having a wife. So apologists can say "oh this gospel was written a century or two after the four canonical gospels".

However the earliest mentions of the new testament gospels was by Irenaeus in 180 AD, which was roughly the same time the according to scholars Nag Hammadi gospels were first written.
