In the History channel show, they stated Alexander had a close male friend, obviously, he therefore had a homosexual relationship. The show was not all that bad, but how the hell do you draw this conclustion is beyond me.
Pretty much, the gays just have to say someone was gay, and they were. And, you're a homophobe if you even ask how they know.
its a more "modern" interpritation. (they just ignore Alexander's love letters to his wife and the fact he had a son. They also gloss over the fact the first thing his generals did after alexander's death was kill the queen and heir.)
homosexual advocates are very quick to claim alexander as a homo, but they never mention the fact that in that era homosexual behavior was deemed a choice not a "born" thing.
They also ignore the fact that it was common practice at the time to declare any conqued king a homosexual in order to call any heirs to the throne as frauds.
Then again this is hollyweird not history.
It has been long speculated that alexander might have been bi- or homo-sexual. It was fairly common in Greece and Macedonia during those times. Given the fact that Hollywood is full into the Gay agenda, and given who the actors are and who is directing it, it's not much of a leap to assume that they would emphasize this aspect.
