Was
Jesus Gay?
The first openly gay Anglican bishop has sparked outrage for
suggesting that Jesus might have been homosexual. The Retired
Rev. Gene Robinson, the Bishop of New Hampshire in the Episcopal
Church of the United States, said that Jesus was an unmarried,
“non-traditional man” who did not uphold family values, “traveled
with a bunch of men” and enjoyed an especially close relationship
with one of his disciples. His comments, made in a recent address
at the Christ Church of Hamilton and Wenham in Massachusetts,
have enraged traditional Anglicans who have suggested that the
Bishop should be “struck down by thunder and lightning bolts”.
However,
many believe that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene and that
through interpretation errors of the Bible that has long been
overlooked.
