::::::Well it can't, by definition, be historical revisionism if it actually happened, now can it ;-) Yeah, I see no problem in removing it. [[User:HelpJazz|Help]][[User talk:HelpJazz|Jazz]] 13:26, 12 November 2008 (EST)

:::::::I have a philosophical question here. If one nut job is making a claim, is it really fair to suggest that such a claim is at all representative of the gay (or liberal) community at large endorsing that claim? That is to say, I know many gay people, scholars, liberals accept the claim that many Greeks were gay, that DaVinci was gay, etc., and certainly some say Paul was gay, but I know of no main stream, "normal", real, gay or liberal person who would seriously assert that Jesus was gay. Is it fair to include those kinds of "one hit wonder" references here? I'm sure if we look hard enough we can find someone on the internet who has taken any and every preposterous position that can be held. doesn't mean it's worthy of inclusion on an article. --[[User:JeanJacques|JeanJacques]] 13:32, 12 November 2008 (EST)

::::::::You seem to have hit the nail on the head. It's a problem we potentially face on many articles -- how does one tell the difference between a fringe view and a mainstream view? I think in this case it's best to properly denote ''who'' is doing the accusation. [[User:HelpJazz|Help]][[User talk:HelpJazz|Jazz]] 13:41, 12 November 2008 (EST)
