Most Christians recall the story of David. David was a sinner and murderer and adulterer, and maybe a homosexual.

What with David's history with women, I really doubt that.

You have some Scripture to support your speculation?

Hi. I do not claim that David was a homo. Some have suggested that his friendship with Jonathan was more than platonic.

I don't subscribe to that view, however I have seen arguments to that effect.

I'm certainly not the one to ask to defend that point of view. If that topic interests you, try googling "david and jonathan homosexuals". There are dozens and dozens of articles discussing the pros and cons of that interpretation.

From my own reading, I always thought the friendship would be considered atypical for men in our own day and age, but by customs of that time, probably not.
