February 7, circa 1046 BC - Jonathan the son of king Saul was born. The love affair between Jonathan and David was so great that he betrayed his father for his lover. On his deathbed David is recorded in the Biblical reference 2 Samuel 1:26 as saying "My brother Jonathan, thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women." It could be the first significant reference to a gay love affair recorded.

Yes, I know of David & Jonathan. That they "knew" each other!
But, out of curiosity, how did you find out Feb 7th was J's birthday!?
Yes, I'm REALLY curious! So when was David's?
