Someone above said the bride was the new city of Jerusalem...which isn't exactly correct. The bible consistently refers to the church as being the bride (Revelation - all over) and, as you stated, Jesus as the groom. This is where metaphor largely conveys the intent of the passage. It is a picture of the pure and beautiful church finally being united with Jesus to become one body at His second coming. In effect, Jesus doesn't call anyone to "dress" up as a bride, but rather to be prepared to meet him when he does arrive (Matthew 25). With passages such as these, it's important to be aware of the literary allusions that the bible uses.

In our culture, this seems VERY gay. GOD though, is expressing the unique relationship He wishes to have with His human creations. A very personal an intimate relationship. Which was a completely foreign concept to all religions in the days of the New Testament and still today considered blasphemous by those of the Jewish faith.

The Bride of Christ is the new Jerusalem, the City that will come down from heaven to the Earth.
It's in the Revelation.

Jesus never spoke about homosexuality. In modern times, society has minimalised, categorised and tainted everything to fit stereo types, so realise a wedding " back then" probably only meant an agreement of egual minds.

In heaven there is no sex, we will all be a part of the bride, in love, but no sex. Don't try to pervert the bible. God is good, fair, loving and wants us all to make the right decision and go to heaven..
