Yeah. He was.

There is nowhere in teh bible where Jesus himself said anything about homosexuality. That was all supposedly from an apostle after Jesus had already died. Sort of a carry over from jewish laws prescribed in Leviticus, which only that one thign seems to be kept out of Leviticus out of all the prohibitions in today's Christianity.

For a more complete academic reading, try "Christianity, Social Tolerance & Homosexuality" by John Boswell, publi9shed by the University of Chicago Press. It covers Christian attitudes about homosexuality up until the 13th century.

Lol.

I thought he was doing it as an Anti-Catholic thing for political purposes; is there any indication that he was a believing Christian in the closet?

Very funny.

Cool-fun fact to know.
