    No.

    Just no.

    Academics need to understand that not every major historical figure has gay tendencies. Quit using homosexuality to get attention in the press.

    If you read the article, it's clear that this is not an actual discovery. He's just imagining how such a discovery would change Christianity.

    Well... that's a good way to get your name in the paper. Doesn't really matter if its true or not, the 'scientist' is famous... if not very credible.

    It's not only untrue it's absurd! Why would he preach against it if he was an openly gay man? Of course the son of the one and only God would be gay!

    (almost all of that was sarcasm...)

    I have my own theories about Jesus and gayness. The church wouldn't like it. *evil grin*

    I know this is tongue-in-cheek, but notably, Jesus said nothing about homosexuality in the Bible, at all.

    Jesus was a gay socialist.

    That will certainly please the evangelical right wing.

    What I don't get is how, under any circumstances, Luke 14.26 could be taken as "a positive exhortation to join in affirmation of a gay lifestyle and love."
