In The Merchant of Venice, is Antonio in love with Bassanio?

in these days, friendship is not as strong as it used to be. so, antonio's feelings toward Bassanio, were most likely sincere and friendship. theer is no friendship without love, so if antonio is bassanio's friend, he must love him!  these days, it is awkward to tell someone of opposite gender, much more the same, that you love that person, but the bond between antonio and Bassanio was stronger than that! besides, maybe we look at it in the wrong context!
