More proof he was in favor:

As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.” At once they left their nets and followed him.

Matthew 4:18 - 20

Is this because Jesus had a personal force field, or because homosexuals carry disruptors? It wouldn’t **faze** me either way.
