As with Jesus himself, it wasn't the harlots and publicans who came under condemnation. Clement of Alexandria, I'll grant you. He and Tertullian and John Chrysostom and Jerome would have had a fit (though Jerome is famous for that one incident in drag...) But Jesus and John, I'm not so sure as you seem to be.
