>I have not heard the "Jesus was gay" thingy yet, but it does not surprise me since they claim that everyone from Abe Lincoln to the Pope

This is one of the
oldest heresies, and has
ancient documents

that well-meaning folk
tried to "hush-up" as basis.
An "alternative"

Gospel of Mark has
a strange passage. Here's the text,
and a background link:

The first fragment of the Secret Gospel of Mark, meant to be inserted between Mark 10.34 and 35, reads:
They came to Bethany. There was one woman there whose brother had died. She came and prostrated herself before Jesus and spoke to him. "Son of David, pity me!" But the disciples rebuked her. Jesus was angry and went with her into the garden where the tomb was. Immediately a great cry was heard from the tomb. And going up to it, Jesus rolled the stone away from the door of the tomb, and immediately went in where the young man was. Stretching out his hand, he lifted him up, taking hold his hand. And the youth, looking intently at him, loved him and started begging him to let him remain with him. And going out of the tomb, they went into the house of the youth, for he was rich. And after six days Jesus gave him an order and, at evening, the young man came to him wearing nothing but a linen cloth. And he stayed with him for the night, because Jesus taught him the mystery of the Kingdom of God. And then when he left he went back to the other side of the Jordan.

Actually, there is another gospel that is apocrypha (it might be the gospel of Timothy, but I'm not sure) that actually SAYS straight out that Jesus slept with boys. It was circulated in a small community, but was thoroughly discounted because the gospel had so many other inconsistencies with the Synoptic gospels.
