Or do you deny that he was married and leave his orientation in question? After all, in those days an unmarried man of his age would seem unusual.

That is rather ironic because the theory that Jesus was married and had children has always been fought fiercely by the church because they seem to think that would make him seem less Divine and more human. But as you pointed out it would be indeed strange for a man of his age in his time not to be married, so it does put his sexual orientation into question.
Christians are therefore left with the very unpleasant dilemma (in their way of thinking) that either he was married and perhaps a father or that he could possibly be a homosexual.
I find that extremely amusing myself.

Do you know what the mark of the beast is?
It's on www.blueletterbible.com. My article about it is below.
It's the stigma of being unmarried and a friendly worker. Just because people throughout the ages have stigmatised those who work with no money or spousal incentive doesn't mean that Jesus was married or gay. It is, in fact, part of the acknowledgement of God's love for us to realise that our walk in this life doesn't need more than the basics of living subsistence to be meaningful and motivated.

Sure, if he is married he probably isn't gay. But you are right, an unmarried man hanging around with 12 other guys really would make you think.

You've never heard of a gay man with a wife and children? Happens all the time.

No that's symbolic like alot of things are.His children are his followers.Because he is under God He is considered the wife.The head of every man is Christ and the head of Christ is God.But here on Earth every man is the head of the household.Just like the Bible says inEphesians 5:21-33.

Why would you even go there?
Jesus possessed moral integrity and divine righteousness that marked him different from all men. His divine mission was to genuinely offer forgiveness to the lost, sin-sick world through His death on the cross.
What a terrible question to ask.

There's lots of gay people who go the strait way to try to fit in. So I would say that that is not conclusive.
