I would guess that the charge of homosexuality against Calvin comes from the biography of Calvin written by Jerome Bolsec, a Catholic monk and a bitter enemy of Calvin.

However, not even the Catholic church takes his slander seriously. It was more a case of hurt feelings over the fact that Calvin tried to have Bolsec banished when the two disagreed over doctrine.

Interesting.

However, as we've seen, the official church position on anything isn't enough to keep some Catholics from believing what they want and spreading lies about it.
