The photo above has landed a priest in hot water with claims that he’s gay. What? Two bros can’t pose shirtless together? What’s that about? But the way he wants to prove it? That’s the amazing part.

The priest, who insists that her and the 28-year-old with whom he was photographed on a trip to Fátima are just good friends, and threw down this challenge:

Let them measure my anus and see if it is dilated.

He said his mum hadn’t stopped crying over what has happened.

Locals say that the priest is a very humane person, dedicated to helping others. More than 1,000 signatures have been gathered in his support.

Uhhh first off, I’m going to say that its ridiculous that they got gay from that ONE picture, but furthermore, you know you can be uh, the pitcher, not the catcher right? And this method of proof would actually do nothing,
