the only argument that I've seen that makes sense is to use John 19:25, and argue that in 1st Century Judaism such a privilege was reserved for only the closest of kin, and then claim that Magdalene was the mysterious "disciple whom Jesus loved".  

that's the best argument you can make, and it's not enough.  (anti)-Christians like the idea because the idea of a sexually active Jesus is anathema to most American Christians.

At least the Virgin Birth has support in the canonical texts,

2 of 4 Gospels.  no knowledge by Paul.
