Was Jesus Gay??


"And the youth, looking upon him (Jesus), loved him and beseeched
that he might remain with him. And going out of the tomb, they went
into the house of the youth, for he was rich. And after six days,
Jesus instructed him and, at evening, the youth came to him wearing
a linen cloth over his naked body. And he remained with him that
night, for Jesus taught him the mystery of the Kingdom of God".

-Censored from Mark 10 between verses 34-35

There certainly has been somewhat 'hush hush' debate on this matter
over the years. The Last Temptation of Christ movie addressing this
subject was virtually banned in the whole of the USA.

I'm no theology expert but on the face of it there seems some reasons
for thinking this to be the case. After all, John the Baptist is called
Jesus's 'beloved' disciple in the Bible.

Who knows? If he was gay, I like to think that he resembled Orlando Bloom!
