Yeah, I saw that, hehe.

He uses Jesus' "astrological chart" -- the planet Uranus figures prominently

Uranus figures prominently?

Man, I'm not even going to touch that one.

This is the best quote:

He claimed his research and forthcoming book, being based on both astrology and theology, were "the nearest we can get ... to real objectivity on this."

Wouldn't a gay theologian deciding that Jesus was gay be quite similar to white theologians making Jesus a white guy? That is how he appears to me on countless pieces of art.
