Could Jesus have been gay?

The gospel of John specifically mentions that there was a disciple whom Jesus loved, presumably male. As Jesus never condemned homosexuality, it is possible he was gay and enjoying a gay relationship with this particular disciple?

There is nothing wrong with being gay, it is NORMAL! If it could be proved Jesus was gay it would be a slap in the face to all the unpleasant bigots who use the Bible as an excuse for their nasty bigotry where homosexuality is concerned.

A question for the Christians on the forum, just supposing it could be established beyond all doubt that Jesus was a homosexual, would it make any difference to your faith?

You've overlooked Magdalen.... I reckon they were very close.
But I don't think that Jesus was strongly against gays.

If you study the laws of Moses and consider why these were written, then Homosexuality will emerge as normal and common throughout nature as well as humanity.

I can't answer that because I'm not a Christian nor theist.
