Welcome to c/Christianity

"Let it be very clear, then, that when the church preaches social justice, equality, and human dignity; when the church defends those who suffer poverty or violence, this is not subversive nor is it Marxism. This is the authentic magisterium of the church.

There are some speculations or queer interpretations of Jesus having a relationship with one of his disciples I have heard of, although I don't put much stock into it.
The idea that they were all gay together in a polycule though has no water whatsoever.

It’s all in the allegories of the Bible.

Jesus wasn't gay in the Gospels. He only became gay a few decades after his resurrection.

Queer Time confirmed to be supported by scripture.
