Some of the theosophists (many of them) were homosexual and therefore unmarried but none of them were celibate.
Vocabulary pet peeve: celibacy is refraining from getting married, NOT refraining from sex (chastity is refraining from sex). I discovered this when learning about a priest who entered a marriage of convenience to get out of a political prison; he was defrocked for violating his vow of celibacy, even though he never even physically met his wife.


You have not read it. The text says Jesus bussed Mary on the mouth frequently. People did not do that except to lovers.
You never met my uncle Marvin...
