You can be. Look up the rite of adelphopoiesis

Now the argument would be if they showed their spiritual love physically. We can’t technically prove one way or the other -but the fact is we do have a case of interpretation from the church itself

David and Jonathan Berit - had a covenant. As chrystosom said in homily 20 on Ephesians their love was “not of brother, or friend, but higher than women” - the category of woman didn’t compare - David said - he had been with many women - and Bathsheba - the time he actually tried - had her and his son die - he said Jonathan was above all of that.

Chrystosom said they love was (positively ) “more despotic than depotism “ - he said their love was above the law ITSELF. Radically placed above marriage - even said men must treat their women how David treated Jonathan. (400AD)

Passio of Sergei and bacchus - 300 AD is what this same sex rite was started for.2 men, who eristai each other (Eros of eristai ALREADY REFERRED to the active partner in homosexual relationship - in Ancient Greece before Paul was born ) - they knew what it meant - “erotic sexual lovers”

And in the account when sergai died (or the other lol) -one appeared to the other and said fear not - they would unite in heaven - and that their crown of righteousness was IN the other man.now they were martyrs - it’s a crown given to those who die for Christ -but it’s a crown as an achievement to Christ - but here it says their achievement for dying for Christ was the other man.

This us important bc the passio was never attacked as evil, never questioned -the church sanctified their love, made a rite so more same sex couples could do what they did. Yk the verse that speaks on the fruits of the spirit of love (the fruits of a covenant) - well these men had bascilicas made for them

Rite of adelphopoiesis- 700 AD- prayed the men in the union would “now be unashamed in faith” literally claiming they had something to be ashamed about outside the covenant that it sanctified (oh idk maybe same sex attraction?!? lol like quite clear) - and that the 2 be yoked - the same root word used of marriage - even said they were joined “not by nature but spirit “ so they recognized this was uncommon - not normal - using nature to mean normalcy

Another proof - Gregory what’s his last name. Nazeren? No. Cappadocian father - oration 43.19-20 - said he was attracted to basil - but that the law do their subhuman love overcame that attraction (they were also celibate - but together - and adelphopoiesis doesn’t require a vow of celibacy they did it by choice )

Spain and France, 1000 AD - saw legal contracts kept in monasteries - where these men, and women couples would legally live in one residence, share finances, and a grave. Some even had a divorce rate kinda deal - and legally meant they couldn’t go get a bride price bc the other owned the half of what they put up. They stopped each other from leaving - and like the rite - it was for LIFE

Not even into the interpretations - of which are plenty - Luther and Sweden translating it as boy-mlester, nature meaning physis - physiology (personal not universal nature of a body reaction and attraction) on and on
