King James (yes, the one that bible is named after) was gay. (x)

Here are some gay facts about him: 

– He once said “You may be sure that I love the Earl of Buckingham more than anyone else (…) I wish (..) not to have it thought to be a defect, for Jesus Christ did the same, and therefore I cannot be blamed. Christ had his John, and I have my George.”

– He promoted his partner George Villiers

quite quickly, first to a Knight, then an Earl, and later Duke of Buckingham.

– Restoration of Apethorpe Palace (undertaken in 2004–08) revealed a previously unknown passage linking the bedchambers of James and Villiers. (x)

– 

Sir John Oglander observed that he “never yet saw any fond husband make so much or so great dalliance over his beautiful spouse as I have seen King James (over George)”. 

– The quote can also be found in the book “King James and letters of homoerotic desire” which contains original letters.
