Don't you think this should have a great effect on what the bible says or not?

King James was involved in a love affair with one man, the Duke of Lennox, which provoked a rebellion in Scotland; his current lover in England was a young man whose special relationship with the king would earn him the Earldom of Somerset.
By 1615, however, Somerset's fortunes declined and James succeeded in luring his most famous lover, George Villiers, later Duke of Buckingham, into bed. What are we to make of these relationships between King James and his so-called "favorites?"
Many earlier historians treated the subject with shock, disdain, and denial. Only recently has the subject been treated more seriously and fairly by scholars such as Caroline Bingham, Jonathan Goldberg, Roger Lockyer, and David Bergeron.
Read some books...you can decide for yourself.

No one knows if he was or not, but I believe the KJV of the bible is a good one.

Who cares if he was?
But no - no effect, since he didn't write the Bible.
