Jesus was both wholly divine, and wholly human. We know absolutely nothing about his life in his teens and twenties.
Chaste or not, show me anybody that is human that has lived through their teenage years and twenties without being sexually attracted to other people.
Being wholly human Jesus must have experienced that sexual attraction... Whether he was attracted to women or men is never ever mentioned. And to be honest, it would make no difference to me either way.

Sacred Scripture says that same-sex acts are sinful . It also says Matthew (7:12): “ In everything, do to others what you would have them do to you." A male's love for another if reciprocated would seem to follow this rule. |

A male's love for another if reciprocated would seem to follow this rule. There are some who can't understand that this was the very concept Jesus tried to get across. Jesus preached to the downtrodden of society (prostitutes, homeless, mentally ill, etc), not the wealthy and made a point several times in the Gospels. Jesus had to even tell St Peter this as well when he said his message was for non-Jews as well. I doubt Jesus would cherry pick, as some do. As for the comment that same sex acts were sinful, this was from the old testament - Leviticus, where there was a whole lot of other things that were sinful as well. This video from West Wing sums it up perfectly: |

A male's love for another if reciprocated would seem to follow this rule. Not in terms sins of the flesh it does not (same with people in opposite-sexual acts, outside of marriage). |

It's sad, but there are some on this board who don't understand certain concepts when pointed out to them. |
