Was Jesus Gay?

In response to my question WWJD: Washington DC, someone sent me a letter.

It suggests, with Biblical evidence, that Jesus might have been gay. Whoa, what?!

There is nothing in the Bible that confirms Jesus’ sexual orientation one way or the other, and thus difficult to determine whether he took the straight-way, the gay-way, or the bi-way. But there are some randy little clues that maybe he did keep a policeman’s uniform in his wardrobe for Taco Tuesday at the Nazareth Tool Shed:

1. Jesus never spoke about homosexuality, despite the Old Testament and Saint Paul bookending his life with plenty of disdain for gay man love.

2. “There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him.” (Mark 7:14-16)

3. Mark writes about a naked man fleeing from Jesus’ side at the moment of his arrest: “A young man wearing nothing but a linen garment, was following Jesus. When they seized him, he fled naked, leaving his garment behind.” (Mark 14:51)

4. Having never make a position against homosexuality, Jesus sermon on the Mount includes the proclamation, : “The Kingdom of Heaven would be available to anyone that had been prosecuted.” What a devilishly delicious clue.

5. At Jesus’ crucifixtion stood Jesus’ mother and the disciple that he loved. While one may argue he loved all his disciples, John does go the lengths to individually identify THAT disciple he loved: “When Jesus saw his mother there, and THE disciple whom he loved.” (John 19:26)

We can only ask the question.

What Would Jesus Do, indeed?
