What about Ecclesiastes 4:11?
Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?
In Hungarian the word "meleg" (base meaning is warm, hot) became today the most PR word for gays...
by the way the same as "gay" in English; in Agatha Christie's novels sometimes I've met this word in the sense of merry, lively. She wrote the Poirots and Miss Marples in 1920s and 1930s.

The subject of my rambling is Agatha Christie.
Ok. Then Agatha Christie is the "they". I understand.
She has used the word "gay" in the sense of merry, lively. And didn't use "faggot".

So, your comment makes sense...
