What complicates the arguement, are the passages in which Johnathan is queried by Saul as to the where abouts of David(The famous ARROW story in which David asks Jonathan to ascertain his father's intentions towards him). Saul out and out accuses Jonathan of having feelings for David "like a woman", for Saul suspects Jonathan is not telling him the truth. Nevertheless, Jonathan himself has had children(Nathan who never spawned kings but is suspected to be part of the lineage of Mary..who birthed the king of kings...Nathan was crippled as a child but I guess managed to get a wife and had kids). If David and Jonathan had had a homosexual relationship...the PROPHET NATHAN I'm sure would have come around to condemn it and pronounce God's curse!

That is what happens when strict adherance to scripture is not maintained. People have been under the impression that they can write things into the scriptures that aren't there and extrapolate verses to support doctrines that are nowhere therein defined. That isn't Christianity - it is Philosophy playing at religion and sheep dipping for effect.
Christians need to stand up and call it what it is.
