I remember Jesus hanging out with an AMAB water carrier, but by all means, tell us more about how Jesus has a problem being associated with "the least of these".

Hes clearly a man, never referred to as anything but a man. How did you get queer from this?
10He answered, “When you enter the city, a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him to the house he enters, 11and say to the owner of that house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?’ 12And he will show you a large upper room, already furnished. Make preparations there.”

Carrying water was a woman’s gender role in the culture in which our story takes place

So men just drink water?

A person calls them one, doesn't make them one—nor did I state explicitly they weren't a man.
How did I get Queer from a 'dude' doing feminine-coded labor?

Fellas, is it feminine to bring water home?
Yall are so quick to label people, putting them in neat little boxes, and declaring them queer if they dont conform to your ideas of gender roles.

Imagine being a single man back then: you’d die of thirst!

But that’s exactly what conservatives do: if a person doesn’t conform to gender roles, when the don’t act like a man or a woman, then they’re otherized, treated differently as a resulted. It’s conservatives who insist that only men and women exists and there is nothing else except moral debauchery.
Queer then is an inclusive term that captures genders outside of men and women and just…goes along with it. Because it’s fine.

No, but I also don’t live in the Roman Imperial Province of Judea in 20 AD.
Tell me, what work in our culture do you think is “women’s work?”

Tell me, if it wasn't notable—i.e. odd—i.e. Queer for a 'man' to be carrying water how the heck could 'a man carrying water' be enough identification for Jesus' disciples to identify to correct person to lead them to the correct house.
If as you imply anyone would be carrying water what kept them from walking up to the wrong dude doing it and getting betrayed to the Romans (before it was time time to be betrayed by the Romans)?
Would not further the person with ties to Jesus being Queer fit in perfectly with the ministry of someone who pointedly associated with social outgroups such as sex workers, Samaritans, and tax collectors?
