Such as the pronouns being nuetered in translation but decidely masculine, or a woman with male body parts addressing "her" male lover? Or older scraps found in Qumram Cave#4 that give us names?
(this should be in the translation notes..the Revised Standard Version makes this plainly clear)
(I'll dredge up some links for you)
Hmn, tough to find anything I'd consider an objective source. The debate as to wether or not it is homosexual erotica hinges on the translations of
"asher leselomoh" and "kalla"
The trouble is that there is no overt distinction, or even a consensus upon how many speakers there are in the verses, since it switches back and forth from masculine and feminine, mostly spoken in the masculine, but sometimes speaking in feminine as well.
