Gay folks in the bible

Ok I'm not exactly a biblical scholar, hehe, not even close. I knew there was a couple bits about how a man shall not lie with another man as he would a woman, I found that one day bored in a hotel room. I was vaguely curious where the conservative anti-gay thing came from. Armed with my basic knowledge of, "if your looking for some good hate, try Leviticus" and I found it. So I knew there was that and I was told there were a couple other parts that could be viewed that way but I never bothered looking them up. So then today I stumbled across this group called Would Jesus Discriminate? that pointed out that there are actual three gay couples in the bible. So I did a quick search, came across Religious Tolerance's site about gays in the bible. We got dudes making out in here, Ok its no porn, not even soft-core but this is not an average friendship which seems like the only way the conservative view would be able to deal with this stuff.

I like this part where they show the various translations some of which are a bit different than the others.

	"...and they kissed one another and wept with one another, until David exceeded." (KJV)
	"...and they kissed one another and wept with one another until David got control of himself." (Amplified Bible)
	"and they sadly shook hands, tears running down their cheeks until David could weep no more." (Living Bible)
	"They kissed each other and wept together until David got control of himself." (Modern Language)
	"They kissed each other and wept aloud together." (New American Bible)
	"Then David and Jonathan kissed each other. They cried together, but David cried the most." (New Century Version)
	"Then they kissed one another and shed tears together, until David's grief was even greater than Jonathan's." (Revised English Bible)
	"...and they kissed one another and wept with one another until David recovered himself." (Revised Standard Version)

Shook hands? Thats funny.

"I grieve for you, Jonathan my brother; you were very dear to me. Your love for me was wonderful, more wonderful than that of women."

HAHA, hows that work in your fundie world view? They even have an apparently not-quite normal sexual relationship between two eunuchs, not quite normal because eunuch's are guys that were castrated. Kinda hard to get freaky when.... well you get the idea. Silly fundies.
