[Liberal Crozier]

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Homophobia has made even platonic affection among friends of the same sex suspect of psychosexual behaviour if not orientation. I oppose this.

I have same and opposite sex friends whom I love, and despite being a gay man, would never entertain the possibility of conjugal affection, albeit adulterous, between them and me. Agape love is not only suggested, but commanded by Christ.

Jealousy even on this plane is possible, and anyone who enjoys " forensic psychological historical narratives" can indulge in many different scenarios.

I just wish to admonish one about inferring what we understand today as true same-sex coupling upon Christ, John or Judas.
