Yet your motivation is so high ... debating, and then when losing ground, turning to character assassination.

I beg your pardon? Read back for a few pages .. the evidence is all there and regrettably .. there is nothing there to support what you have just asserted.
Again .. as I said Greens .. you're reading all sorts of things into news articles and posts .. which aren't even there.
Now .. if you don't mind .. given we've gone round and round in futile circles for a few hours here .. and given the OP article contradicts what you have been asserting all afternoon (and many thanks for reproducing that portion of the OP which clearly shows this) .. I'm going to go into this topic now:

Was Jesus Christ Gay?A topic which merits further open and frank discussion.
Why the choice of title, it should be was jesus heterosexual considering there is more evidence Jesus was gay than straight.
Professor Morton Smith, a Christian, has found a letter by the Bishop of Alexandria (c. 125 C.E.) describing a deleted passage of Mark's Gospel.
"And they come into Bethany. And a certain woman whose
brother had died was there. And she prostrated herself before
Jesus and says to him, Son of David, have mercy on me. But the
disciples rebuked her. And Jesus, being angered, went off with
her unto the garden where the tomb was, and straightway a
great cry was heard from the tomb. And going near, Jesus
rolled away the stone from the door of the tomb. And
straightway, going in where the youth was, he stretched forth
his hand and raised him, seizing his hand. But the youth,
looking upon him, loved him and began to beseech him that he
might be with him. And going out of the tomb they came into the
house of the youth, for he was rich. And after six days Jesus
told him what to do and in the evening the youth came
to him, wearing a linen cloth over his naked body. And
he remained with him that night, for Jesus taught him
the mystery of the Kingdom of God. And thence, arising, he
returned to the other side of the Jordan."
Scholars have long wondered at a curious passage in the
canonical Gospel of Mark (undisputedly the oldest of the
canonical gospels) which seems to hint that a detail or two might
have been left out: Then they came to Jericho. As he was
leaving Jericho with his disciples (Mark 10:46). But what
happened in Jericho on Jesus' whistle-stop tour of the
provinces? Did Jesus simply pass through and then leave
without doing or saying anything to anyone? If the visit was so
irrelevant to Jesus' mission, why is it even mentioned? The gap
suggests a missing portion of Marks Gospel.
