There is nothing in the Bible precluding priests from being married men. Precisely the opposite is true.

How about the fact that there is no Christian priesthood at all in the bible. There's your core problem.

Married Priests solves NOTHING.

They don’t “become gay” due to lack of access to women!

Would you be happier with;
-dating priests,
-philandering priests,
-divorced priests?

There is a Jewish priesthood in the Bible. And there is the beginnings of a Christian clergy in the New Testament. In point of fact, Paul describes the qualities of the types of individuals who should serve in this capacity:

“A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach.”

1 Timothy 3:2
