Honestly, if David weeping harder than Jonathan at their goodbye kiss doesn’t scream “soulmate,” I don’t know what does. The fact that he says Jonathan’s love was “more wonderful than the love of women” after being married to Jonathan’s sister? Sir. That’s not subtext. That’s gay exegesis with a sword in one hand and a mixtape of Elton John’s greatest hits in the other.
At this point, if your Bible study isn’t making room for queer readings, you’re not doing biblical scholarship—you’re just doing denial with footnotes.
Also, shoutout to the Book of Jashar for holding the original gay playlist of ancient Israel. RIP to the real ones.
