Yeah, just think about all the rumors about Jesus.

A sizable minority in the gay camp (is that redundant?) like to portray “gay Christs.” They can’t imagine seeing the events of the New Testament through any other eyes.
Christ was an extraordinary man ... a man without sin, the one Son of God. Rumors are irrelevant, though I am quite sure there were people that thought many horrible things about Christ. They crucified Him.
But, He was blameless and sinless. Priests are not. Priests are just men (apparently to varying degrees) ... with all the proclivities, perversions, weaknesses, and sinfulness that that abound throughout society. Heterosexual priests no doubt have lustful and sinful thoughts, if not actions, about women.
The fact remains that priestly celibacy provides a good cover for a closet homosexual ... and apparently that convenient cover has not gone unnoticed by the closeted. It would not surprise me in the least if the proportion of homosexuals in the priesthood exceeded that of regular society, or at least of non-celibate Cathlics, Christians or clergy.
