In spite of the clear hints toward a homosexual lifestyle of Jesus, most American Christians today reject homosexuality, depicting it as a terrible sin. They use the Bible’s rare passages about sex to patch together a thin excuse of hatred toward anything other than a male-dominated heterosexuality.

At the same time, they want to seize the power of government to force their bigoted religion at children across the United States, compelling teachers to post the Ten Commandments and teach from the Bible in public schools.

What if, in response, teachers taught passages from the Bible in which there are signs of homosexual love affairs? What if public school teachers displayed the following poster, depicting Jesus and Judas as the “hottest gay lovers in the Bible”?

You know what would happen. Christian Nationalists don’t actually want the Christian Bible to be taught honestly. They aren’t willing to consider the true breadth of Christian ideology. Their toxic Christianity will only allow for speech and education about a narrow, right wing extremist version of Christian beliefs.
