And thanks to how Ancient Greek is very difficult to read, its really hard to know how he felt about consensual adult relationships. There are points where our modern Bibles translate to "homosexual men" where the word used meant unmanly men, and at the time it was practice for older men to sleep with young brothel eunuchs or servants who were really young, which must have been creepy at times.

There is also story of Jesus healing a Roman's servant where it is sometimes interpreted to mean that the servant was one such boy. And King David was so gay for Jonathan.
