Think about it.He was a man and men have certain needs.Yet people say that Jesus never had a wife or had a woman.Which is highly odd for those days.Even the Bible has an interesting passages:
"So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep." John 21:15-17
Why was Jesus so intent on knowing if this guy loved him?

"Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following them. (This was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and had said, "Lord, who is going to betray you?")" John 21:20
So, not only was Jesus worried about whether or not he was loved by also he loves this guy.

You are incorrect. Jesus was not worried at all. Furthermore, Jesus was not, under any circumstances, a man like you. He was a man of honor--a man who came as a messenger to do his Father's will. His purpose in this passage of scripture was to impress upon Simon the importance of him continuing the message of hope, which was God's kingdom on Earth. The two men spoke of a deeper love; not the filth you are referring to.

One hole in your theory: since Peter had a wife, it is obvious that he was heterosexual, so I don't think that he was jealous of Jesus in the way that you are suggesting. Obviously Peter is worried about his position in the upcoming Kingdom of Heaven: as in, who is most important and therefore the most powerful, since this was a common bone of contention among the disciples as the New Testament itself suggests.
If it was unusual for a Jewish man to be unmarried, it was also unusual, apparently, for a Jewish man to be gay in those days because he would have been executed. You seem to ignore that fact. Being celibate was apparently an accepted, if not preferred, alternative to marriage.
I get really tired of all of these historical revisionists trying to make us believe us that every historical figure was gay (except Adolph Hitler -- why not him too?).

I find it more plausible that he was married, since he was a rabbi, but it's possible to be both married and gay.
However, many of the words put in his mouth came after the church had been "Paul-ized," and Paul was very anti-sex (and possible a deep-in-the-closet homosexual, given all the self-loathing), so the picture is going to be skewed by the sexual ethics the authors would want to write into the character of Jesus. Note how the woman most likely to be his wife (Mary Magdalene) gets pushed to the background.
Mentioning "agape" means little when Jesus spoke Aramaic, not Greek.

That doesn't prove Jesus was gay. Back then, saying you loved someone could have also meant that they were near and dear to you, including a close friendship.

Jesus asked Peter THREE TIMES if he loved Jesus.....
...later, Peter denied he knew Jesus THREE TIMES! Object lesson you think?
......and you already know that it was Judus Jesus spoke of as the betrayer....
Why these baiting, senseless questions?

eunuchs were common, so how is this odd?
several words for love. agape being one of them
and with the rabbi thing, a rabbi had to be 50, so He wasn't considered a rabbi by Jewish law, just called that because He was a teacher.
I don't understand why everyone wants Jesus to be gay so badly!

It's claimed that Jesus was a rabbi. If that's the case, he was married--one must be married to be a rabbi according to old Jewish law.
