This is the sum total of your argument...to which I will give two rejoinders:
1.) Provided that everything quoted is actually true....you apparently have read quite little of personal letters men wrote in that era.
NEWSFLASH:
These were NOT 19th century American Males.....men were MUCH more "poetic" and "intimate" in a way in that culture as they are now. Verbiage was more intimate by nature....
What we might consider to be very "gay"...was not seen as such in that era....think about David stating that the "love" he had for Jonathan was greater than the love of WOMEN!!! Only blaspemous God-haters like John Shelby Spong claim that that makes David "gay". They did not speak the way we Modern Americans do....so take anything written with a grain of discernment. How often would you call the "God-father" who kisses his male friends on the cheek (twice) of being gay?.....Go ahead...YOU SAY IT!!!! I won't.
2.) More importantly....these letters of yours simply DO NOT EXIST!!!! You cannot produce that letter. No-where on planet Earth....can those letters by James be produced by his own hand....All you have is statements of others (often political enemies) who CLAIM that that is what he wrote...
Produce James's letters and you have a documented case....you can't. That's a fact.
This is why no conclusive evidence can be produced. I'm sorry for you, but facts are obstinate things.
