Greek manner, so to speak, but what would it matter if he did? This is the point. If Jesus was gay, would it negate the teachings and the parables? Would the Sermon on the Mount lose its authority if preached by the queen of queens rather than the king of kings?
And if somebody could prove historically beyond all doubt that Jesus was in fact homosexual, would Christians then reject Jesus, or would they reject the evidence as usual? Your guess is as good as mine.
From what I’ve read in the Gospels I think Jesus was a pretty common sense sort of person, and I don’t think he would have had a problem with anybody being who they are. I do think, though, that he had a problem with people who pretend to be one thing, while being another.
So if you are a closet homosexual family man with your own ministry, as I know some of you are, don’t be ashamed. God knows you’ve got enough to be ashamed of without adding imaginary crimes to the list.
It’s not a sin to be gay. It’s a sin, if anything, to be a liar and a hypocrite about it. So why not do yourself and everyone around you a favour, step out of that closet and show a little pride in who you really are.
Some people won’t like it, of course they won’t, but you know how bigoted they are. You know that better than anybody.
And anyway you can ignore their opinion because now you’ll have the kind of strength that only comes from being true to yourself, and who knows, it might even help to enhance your faith if you take comfort from the real possibility that your messiah, Mr Jesus Christ, was a normal healthy homosexual just like you. Everyone’s a winner.
Peace to all Christians, especially the secretly queer ones.

A Word to Islamofascists
November 14, 2007
OK, I’d like to say something about the Muslim Council of Britain, whose leader recently accused the security services here of increasing tensions in society by fostering a negative image of Muslims, which is pretty ironic given that the Muslim Council of Britain itself is probably the most high profile negative image there is of Muslims in this country, apart from the actual suicide bombers.
Of course there are various ways that you can increase tensions in society; not least people who constantly push for unwarranted religious privilege, and who issue lists of demands that would impose Islamic values on every school in Britain.
People who refer to themselves as community spokesmen when they actually speak for nobody but themselves and their Wahhabi fundamentalist paymasters in Saudi Arabia, where just last week somebody was actually executed on suspicion of practising witchcraft.
Intolerant misogynists who are given a frlatform to insult this country during Remembrance Week by comparing Britain with Nazi Germany, in a tasteless and calculated slur guaranteed, and doubtless intended, to insult and offend every grieving war widow in the land.
They also want a ban on alcohol in public and a more modest dress code for everybody, whether they’re Muslims or not, and whether they like it or not. How inclusive. How thoughtful.
This organistation, like its American equivalent CAIR, or the Council on American-Islamic Relations, is the respectable face of terrorism in the West. The sort of society they’d like to create already exists in Saudi Arabia, where children are raised to hate Jews and to refer to them as vermin and pigs and apes; where young men are so sexually repressed by their religion they spend all their time furiously masturbating over violent internet pornography like a bunch of Catholic priests, and where women have to be invisible in public to avoid being raped.
So you can see why we in Britain might be a little hesitant about welcoming these kinds of values into our society.
But of course this hasn’t prevented our spineless government from pandering to these fanatics at every opportunity, most recently promising state-funding for hundreds more Islamic schools, thus encouraging
