Jesus was gay, says academicThe Sydney Morning Herald (May 29 2003)
Jesus Christ was gay because of the position of the planets at the time of his birth, a Brisbane academic says.
Rollan McCleary, who was awarded his doctorate today from the University of Queensland, also believes one and possibly three of Jesus's disciples were also gay.
Dr McCleary, who will launch a book on his findings next month, said today he based his opinions on St John's gospel and on Christ's astrological chart based around the date, place and time he was born.
The former Paris radio broadcaster, Hong Kong teacher and graduate of London University, now based in Melbourne, said "one or two queer theologians" had attempted to argue Jesus was gay in the past.
"People haven't taken them very seriously because they don't have any evidence and they say things so sensationally that people are not really going to listen or just be very angry," Dr McCleary told ABC radio.
"What I'm doing is showing a much more theological and also astrological dimension on all this which will make a lot more sense to people."
He refused to name which disciples he believed were gay, saying people would have to read the book.
"Let's work that one out when the book comes out," Dr McCleary said.

エルトン・ジョンさん：「イエスは非常に知的なゲイ」 エジプト問題視、公演中止
【カイロ和田浩明】英国の人気歌手エルトン・ジョンさん（63）が18日にカイロで予定していたコンサートが中止された。ジョンさんが同性愛者で、イスラム教でも預言者として敬われるイエス・キリストを同性愛者だと発言したことを、エジプト側が問題視したため。性的指向や表現の自由に関し、欧州と中東の許容度の違いが表面化したケースと言えそうだ。
ジョンさんは米国の雑誌「パレード」に2月に掲載されたインタビューで、「イエスは非常に知的なゲイ（同性愛者）だったと思う」と発言。中東諸国での同性愛のタブー視も批判した。
コンサート開催の許諾権を持つエジプトの音楽家組合のワシミ組合長は毎日新聞の取材に対し、「個人的指向は自由だ」と述べつつ、公演拒否の理由を「アーティストは若者に対する影響力が極めて強い。信仰や預言者を侮辱する人物には演奏してほしくない」と説明した。
ジョンさんは同性愛者であることを公表しており、05年にはパートナーと同性婚関係を結んでいる。今月は同じイスラム国のモロッコでもコンサートがあるが、予定通り行われる見込み。
国際人権団体「ヒューマン・ライツ・ウォッチ」は、エジプト治安当局が売春規制法規を拡大適用して同性愛者を拘束しているとして、「基本的人権が侵害されている」と批判している。（毎日新聞 2010/05/15）
