David said: "I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan; greatly beloved were you to me; your love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women." 2 Samuel 1:36 (NRSV)
The iconic king of ancient Israel was bisexual.
His love for Jonathan is celebrated in the Bible.
There is no question of condemnation or shame.
It is love.
Pure and simple.
"passing the love of women."
