> they ate every day at the same table ... and at night their beds did not separate them
That doesn't read to me like a statement that they shared a bed, necessarily (though I acknowledge that, even if they did share a bed, it wouldn't be sexually suggestive). I read it as "they sat up all night and didn't go to bed".
Other gay icons from a slightly creative historical reading: King David and Jonathan from the bible.
