Or prophets for that matter?

I think this should be in BC&H.

Check out 1 Samuel.

define gay so i'll know whether to rule out the inhabitants of sodom & gommorah.

David and Jonathon, IIRC.

The odd thing is, AFAIK, IIRC, they were rapists, but not gay per se.
I've always wondered how they got defined as gays.

2 Samuel 1:17, 26
17 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and Jonathan his son
26 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.

I'm not sure if that should be taken as an homosexual admission.

There were news reports about his dad, but Solomon squashed the reports . . . actually he squashed the reporters. . . .

They discovered how to clone Goliath. [Unfortunately, he died after a few years, like Dolly - Ed]

My theory is that the kings decided what was in the bible, so the approvals/disapprovals reflected the whims of the kings.

Well, considering how anti-woman the Old Testament is, it wouldn't be too hard for anything to surpass the 'love' a woman had for a man back then.

How about Daniel and Ashpenaz? Daniel 1:9 is mighty suspicious.
