Was Jesus Gay?

[Graufreud]

Yesterday we did pull-ups and dips in a park. Three men. We were shirtless. It was fun. 

Someone may see it some homoerotic, I don't care.

For the record, heterosexual men don't kiss in Russia anymore.
But I've seen this custom in Central Asia

Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.

Jesus was only 30 years old, not more than ten or fifteen years older than his disciples.His disciples weren't little kids looking for comfort from an adult.  Why did the bible make a big deal about the fact that Jesus loved this disciple butt didn't give him a name? Why would a grown man lean on another man's bosom except for physically intimate love?

Apparently, the church had such a problem with this supposedly "innocent" gesture that the NIV changed it to say the disciple was merely reclining near Jesus. That's not a reinterpretation. Those are two entirely different things. How easily god's word can be fixed when too many eyebrows rise over what it says.

Was Jesus is the real question. His sexual preferences are left to the creators of the myth!

Hung out with a suspicious amount of dudes....

Hung out with a suspicious amount of dudes....

Then there was "...the one that Jesus loved..." Not that there is anything wrong with that. Eh, it was already said. Shit.

[Minimalist]

Sure, just look at the Sodom and Gomorrah incident or as Jesus likes to call it Operation Eliminate Homosexuality.
God already knew Sodom and Gomorrah was full of homosexuals and yet he decided to go there himself with couple of male angels to check it out for himself. That is basically three guys visitng a gay club. And when the angels returned to heaven did god/Jesus congratulate them on job well done by being so distractedly handsome that gays in Sodom wanted to rape them?
Not to mention that God/Jesus is constantly surrounded with angels who are muscular men with wings, dressed in short white robes, all of them quite handsome and fit. So not only is he gay but very selfish gay who doesn't want to share his guys with other gays.

Also Heaven was just a void, nothingness floating over water and then Jesus started decorating it to be gaudy and colorful and fabulous with gold, marble statues and half naked muscular male angels everywhere.

Maybe the pedo priest crap started at the very beginning, IOWs, Jesus wasn't gay, he was a kiddie diddler.

Make the little children suffer when they come unto me.

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.
