The soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle. Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee. It's clear that David loved Jonathan, and they hugged, and kissed, and felt tender loving warmth for one another. And that love was beautiful because all love is beautiful.
Love defines itself.
It is the most powerful force there is because God is Love. Jesus, as he hung on the cross, suffering a horrible death, spoke one last time to his mother, and one last time to his friend, to bond the two of them together. Because John was his Beloved, Mary was to become John's mother, too. And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home. Some people say that Jesus had nothing to say about gay people.
