What's worse, that the painting shows that Da Vinci thought Jesus was married, or that Da Vinci thought Jesus was homosexual?

You're making some pretty big leaps there. Who's to say that the painting says anything about Jesus's preferences? Either it shows the Apostle John as effeminate to our modern eyes (which is how he was traditionally depicted), a position that art historians have held for centuries, or it shows a woman at the Last Supper, a recent theory co-opted by a potboiler.
