Magdalene was his wife. the church made her into a prostitute so that jesus could be said to have been single. that happened when the church forbid priests to marry 'cause it was costing the church too much money for the priests to have wives.
as usual with the catholic church, it all comes down to money

The Bible does not say Mary Magdelene was a prostitute. It says she was possessed and Jesus cured her.
She was introduced shortly after the story of the woman who was about to be stoned (the punishment for a woman who slept with a man who was not her husband). I think people got the two women confused.
Another possible reason is that there was an old tradition in that area of a "sacred king" and a priestess having sex to insure the fertility of the crops. (the hieros gamos). Sometimes the king was sacrificed. Some myths of this ritual were confused with the story of Jesus, and some people assumed that Mary was his consort.

He is the Lord. He is different from the society. He is good but society is evil. Society rejects immoral and "dirty" people but God loves us all, including the worst person on earth. Jesus is not a racist. He will not discriminate us. Society is evil

Jesus answered that question Himself in Luke 5:32 "I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance."
BTW Mary Magdeline was not a prostitute, you should read the Bible not the DaVinci Code.
Lepers are people who are sick, and he healed them
The Bible never mentions Jesus hanging out with gays.
Jesus "hung out" with His disciples, and ministered to the lost.

The Magdalene was not a prostitute, and was never portrayed as such until the Catholic Church sought to remove any feminine aspects of Christ's life.
Chances are she was Christ's wife, and the Church had to marginalize her in order to propagate their "Christ was married to the Church" myth.

Can you give ANY Bible verses that show that Jesus socialized with gays. I suspect you are using His name to get people to accept homosexuality!

Well if you read more about the people you are describing you will understand why he ways followed by these people. He didn't hang out with them, they came to him.
