Even though the relationship between the LGBT community and
the Church has been “less than ideal” throughout the centuries, is there any
truth to the so-called “Biblical Evidence” that Jesus was gay?
By: Ringo Bones
Even though a majority of Christians around the world view
the idea of Jesus Christ had a so-called romantic relationship with Mary
Magdalene is the stuff of fiction that doesn’t have any Biblical evidence
whatsoever, Biblical scholars have recently noted, although all of them are
still reluctant of admit, that evidence of Jesus’ homosexuality was actually
written down on the Holy Bible. But is there sufficient evidence for this
beyond a reasonable doubt?
Given that the historically accurate Jesus Christ was likely
to be akin to that of a Hebrew rabbi, since 2,000 years ago, there are no laws
forbidding rabbis from marrying and having a family. Jesus being an unmarried
rabbi until his crucifixion is unusual indeed. And given that the gospels clearly
states that Jesus Christ had loved John the Apostle in a “special way”, the
speculation that Jesus might be gay is now sounding more plausible. And during his
crucifixion, only three women and one man of his closest inner circle were
present at his side. That man was John the Apostle.
The man now known as St. John the Apostle clearly had a
unique place in the affection of Jesus. In all classic depictions of The Last
Supper – a favorite subject in Christian art, John is next to Jesus, very often
is head is resting on Jesus’ breast. As Jesus lay dying on the cross, Jesus
asked John to look after his mother and then asked John’s mother to “accept
John as her son” – implying that John’s mother has not ,until that time, fully accepted the
homosexuality of her son John or the ongoing homosexual relationship between
John the Apostle and Jesus Christ. If you ask me, the gospel-based evidence of
Jesus’ homosexuality is more compelling than that of 19th Century
Washington D.C. socialite Virginia Woodburry Fox’s diaries describing Abraham
Lincoln’s secret homosexual tryst.

For being Jewish, gay and a communist, would Jesus Christ be type-casted as the main villain in those Eisenhower Administration era Film Noir spy movies?
