The Bible does not mention the word homosexuality. There is only one sentence about sodomy (anal intercourse) in the Old Testament, which is in Chapter 20 of Leviticus (from verses 6 to 21) which refers to all the various Old Testament penalties for breaking the law. Leviticus 20:13 says "If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination."
It also speaks indirectly against homosexuality. There is the account of Sodom and Gomorrah. God sent two angels to warn Lot to leave and to get everyone righteous out that he could find. The men and boys of that city were all out, and they demanded that Lot let them in to meet the angels that they might "know" them. That seems to be a euphemism for sex that was introduced in King James' day. So many people take that part of the account as meaning the men of the city wanted to gang rape the angels. The angels blinded the men, and they were still trying to force the door open. After Lot left with his family, God destroyed the two cities. The name "Sodomite" is used throughout the Old Testament and perhaps a time or two in Revelation is a negative manner (though less negatively than for other groups). Its usage must be figurative since there were no surviving Sodomites except Lot and his daughters.
There are three relevant quotes, two in Leviticus that address homosexuality, both condemn the act and criminalize it, and one in Genesis that condones it and understands that it's human nature. All citations NIV, except for the Genesis quote, which is in the original Hebrew:
Leviticus 18:22: 22 "'Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.
Leviticus 20:13: 13 "'If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
Genesis 2:18, which says:
וַיֹּאמֶר ה׳ אֱלֹוקים, לֹא-טוֹב הֱיוֹת הָאָדָם לְבַדּוֹ; אֶעֱשֶׂה-לּוֹ עֵזֶר, כְּנֶגְדּוֹ׃
And the ETERNAL G-d said: 'It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper for him.
The Hebrew word for Helper in this verse is ezer (עזר) which is masculine. Now it is true that masculine Hebrew nouns can also be used generically to include the feminine, but if this "helper" was only supposed to be a woman, we would expect the word ozeret (עוזרת). We can conclude that this verse could apply to male partners or female partners.
Nothing!

The Bible's position on homosexuality can be found at the following biblical references. Note: The first two references are in the Old Testament, while the third one is from the New Testament. The implication is that the Bible has had a stance on homosexuality for a long time. For immediate reference a link to a searchable on-line Bible is available, below Leviticus 18:22 Leviticus 20:13 Romans 1:26-28
I suppose you could say that the Old Testament is a sort of prequel to the New Testament.
The marital status of Daniel in the Old Testament is not recorded. It is thus not possible to say either way.
The Old Testament.
Sexual intercourse between two men is forbidden in Leviticus 18:22. Tradition states that this law applies not only to the Israelites.
In the Old Testament, there are prophecies that point to the coming of a divine Messiah who would be God in human form. For example, in Isaiah 9:6 it says, "For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." This verse suggests that the Messiah would be seen as God himself.
Jesus Christ was not alive in His earthly body yet in the time of the Old Testament. Therefore He did not say "I tell you the truth" at all in the Old Testament.
The Old Testament never actually mentions Jesus Christ.
You could say king Solomon.
Abraham is first mentioned in the Old Testament.
