Re: This has to be a first!
In the Bible, David (before he was king) and Saul's son, Jonathan, were Heart-Companions. I am sure they were not homosexual (although, the Heart-Companions in the game may very well be taken from a homosexual military unit of some sort from history...)
Here is the text concerning David & Jonathon:
I Samual 18:1-4
And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house. Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul. And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle."
When it talks about Jonathan loving him as his own soul, I have read some translations use the term Heart-Companion....they also made covenant with one another, swearing by all that they had (hence, the giving of his garments, robe, weapons, ect.), to protect one another with their lives....
Not preaching to or at anyone...just thought it would go with the discussion on "Heart-Companions"
