or it might have been Peter and others whom the Lord personally chose and taught for 3 years - and who had many differences in doctrine with Paul -

And some believe it was poor eyesight after his experience on the road to Damascus and from his comment about how big his handwriting was.
Y'know, I get kinda tired of the gays trying to hijack every major figure in history as one of their own.
My spouse thinks the "thorn in the flesh" was Paul's wife. ;) IMO, the "thorn" may have been the loss of his wife/family, it could have been poor eyesight as a reminder of the Damascus Road incident, of it COULD have been that he forever carried the stigma of holding the coats of those who murdered Stephen.
I've been a adult Christian for 25 years and have never read or heard that accusation.
I guess at one time or another the homosexual (I refuse to use the PC word: gay ) community will peg every historical figure as a potential homosexual.
