My daughter attended an Easter play with a friend. Their Jesus had long blonde hair and a pink heart on his cheek. I don't think she stayed for the duration of the play.

That's just like the UPC's "beardless Jesus." Everyone tries to make God in their image.

A "gay" Jesus would be the same as a "beardless Jesus." Romans 1.

Our Pastor Emeritus has been referred to on this board as The Bearded One.

Back before he had his beard - when he was my pastor, I was a junior bible quiz coach. I got some sideways looks for even a hint of a goatee while we were at a tournament. He heard complaints about it, but told me that he didn't think it was Biblical, and I didn't have to shave. I decided to shave to avoid him getting more grief, but I appreciated the gesture.

I don't mind when Pastors have that preference for their church, but if they try to call it Bible, I start losing respect and confidence in their ministry.

Exactly. The problem is very few can articulate the position with inferring that GOD has such a preference too!
