I dont have the evidence myself but many claim that judah commited suicide because we was worried that it would be discovered that him and Jesus had an intimate relationship with him.
Also Jesus's Deciples were ALL MEN
Everyone at the last supper was a MAN
He massaged a MANS foot with water.
He is against sex with women.
Women arent allowed to talk in church.
With alot of CLEAR EVIDENCE that Jesus preferred men over women sexually, wouldnt you say that Christians are hypocritical?
Christians that answer this question will say Jesus was god and straight and hated gays , forget to remember that he was gay himself. No offence to anyone but the facts are facts

There is nothing in the Christian Scriptures (New Testament) which specifically identifies Jesus' sexual orientation. The Bible does not say clearly whether Jesus had a heterosexual, homosexual or bisexual orientation. It is silent on whether Jesus was celibate or sexually active; single or married, childless or with children. 2 However, a few theologians have asserted that Jesus had, and presumably still has, a homosexual orientation.
Following our mandate, we explain all sides to the issue.

"Also Jesus's Deciples were ALL MEN

I don't think most women took part in religion as far as becoming deciples during his time.
"He massaged a MANS foot with water."
Ahaha. He probably didn't enjoy it.
"He is against sex with women. "
He was against all sex wasn't he?
"Women arent allowed to talk in church."
Again, women didn't have many rights in his age.
Besides, there's also evidence that he had marital affairs with the Mary woman who was next to him in The Last Supper.

No, Jesus was not gay.
Judas killed himself, because he was feeling so guilty about having been bribed to lead Jesus' captors and killers to Him.
Jesus' disciples were all men, but back in that time you wouldn't have had women coming along with you, because that just wasn't done back in that society.
Yes everyone at the Last Supper was a guy, because Jesus and the disciples were guys. Being with a lot of guys a lot of the time, doesn't make you gay.
People's feet back then were not nearly as clean as they are today. They had been wearing sandals all of their life. They had also been traveling around Israel, which is very arid. The disciples feet probably had calluses everywhere, with a lot of dirt and junk on their feet, so this would not have been a pleasant experience for Jesus. The servants normally got stuck with washing people's feet when they came into a house. Jesus was doing this to show that He was serving them and wasn't there to be served.
Adultery was what Jesus spoke against; He didn't say to never have sex with a woman, He just wanted you to wait to be married.
If you got the notion that women can't speak in church from where I thought that you did, that was explaining how women should learn. Before this people didn't even think that women could learn. That passage was saying, "Hey look, women can learn, this is how." Both men and women should learn in submission.

Ok, I'll answer this, Jesus who is God, showed in the Old Testament that he hates homosexuality. He don't hate the person, but hates the sin. God destroyed 2 cities because of it, when he sent fire & brimstone down from heaven onto Soddom & Gomorrah.
As far as his 12 disciples being men. A majority of them were married to women.
About washing his disciples feet, during that time, it was a custom to wash the feet.
Jesus is not against sex with women. Because God created sex to be between a husband and wife. And Jesus endorsed marriage between a man and woman.
About women not allowed to talk in church, at the time, the culture of the day looked at women as having to be in submission to men.
And about the word gay, the real meaning of the word gay is happy.
Jesus doesn't hate homosexuals. He loves everyone unconditionally. Meaaning that he loves expecting nothing in return.
If you want totally clear evidence about Jesus, read the Bible, start with Matthew and read through Revelation. But I'd also suggest reading The entire Old Testament too.
Also, Judas commited suicide because he had betrayed Jesus and felt guilty because of it.

Facts are facts no matter how you manipulate them. You say that you have no evidence yourself but you proceed to make claims that have no basis in fact (ie: Judas committing suicide because he had an intimate relationship with Jesus). You then name 5 bits of random "FACTS" that no more prove he was a Homosexual than the statement "He had a Penis and an Anus." With your way of thinking, you can easily make the jump that since he had a penis and an anus, he MUST have been using them for sex and is therefore a HOMOSEXUAL! Can't dispute the facts!
If you want to be controversial, get some real facts and don't show your ignorance with this kind of Question (which was not a question at all but rather a sermon to justify your own homosexuality - which you obviously feel guilty about and are looking for justification).
Good luck to you.

Jesus disciples were all men, but he also had a large following of women. He washed their feet rather than massaged the feet. (It was the custom of the day to wash feet of a guest. Jesus invented men having sex with women. Women not being allowed to talk had more to do with culture. (Women of that culture sat on separate side of men while in public. If they wanted to know something form their husbands, they would shout across to the other sides rather than waiting until they were home.)
There is no evidence that Jesus preferred men over women. In fact, he was the first to liberate women in a time in which we had no rights.

Are you gay? It seems to me that gay people want to bash Jesus, because they know deep down inside their hearts that it is wrong! And most intelligent people know that Jesus wasnt gay. I actually feel sorry for you that you are going to burn in hell for eternity. If you would read the Bible you would know that everything that it says is true. Have you ever heard about prophecy? Well there have been hundreds of prophesies from the Bible that have come true already. The Bible talks about what is going on in the middle east right now! Jesus was the only PERFECT,SINLESS man, he didnt need sex.

Is that what you are going to tell God on Judgment Day. I can hear it now. "Well, I didn't believe in your son because I thought he was gay and hypocritical, like all your followers." How do you think that is going to fly when He judges you and shuts you up under the Law? Don't you realize how much you offend God by just existing to say such blasphemies? This truly proves that God is long suffering and merciful. God wants to save you from your sins, but you must respond. It is a relationship. The Bible commands that all men repent of their sins and trust Jesus to save them from God's wrath. God is pure and holy and will judge all non-believers unto his holiness. That should make you tremble. It makes me tremble and I am a Christian. I understand God's holiness, righteousness and truth. You obviously don't. Please, seek salvation before your life ends for you are not promised another day on this earth.

Well I hate to tell you that not all Christians think Jesus was straight and hated gays. There is some strangeness about the fact that in those times marriage was normally arranged. Why did he not get married as per custom? Strange I know.

Jesus/GOD, and we as humankind were made in his image, God does not make mistakes. And now-a-days would'nt you rather hang with your buddies. I do not think that you read the entire Bible, you should understand the times and the culture. In the Middle East, women are not to speake in church, just as here in the ole good USA, women are not to preach in the church. The Superbowl game, everyone watching is male, What did you say "We're all gay and they are not facts, it is called heresay, on less of course you were there????

To rac above me .you're making assumptions devoid of understanding. No the position contained in the bible does it say that Jesus became married or perhaps hinted at . It mentions that Peter ,between the 12 disciples became married ,yet no longer Jesus.It mentions his mom Mary ,his brothers and sisters and that he became a timber worker , yet no longer some thing about marriage . only because he became thirty does no longer recommend a lot.He became no longer called a rabbi because he became thirty yet because of his miracles and personality and education ,no longer because of age. And if he became a rabbi who became his instructor/s? And the position did he learn from?If he had followed the norms of his day he must have joined some sought of faculty and studied below mentors . None of those are pronounced .
