Alexander wasn't gay

This historian looks at the actual evidence that Alexander was bi-sexual. Answer-- there is no contemporaneous evidence but merely later, unreliable gossip. Alexander had 3 wives and several mistresses. He had children. A deep friendship is not necessarily bi-sexual although most homosexuals interpret any close friendship as homosexual and prove their point by claiming that the denials of same are proof of it.

[television is just wrong]

By today's standards, everyone is gay.

I don't think we will ever have proof. We can speculate all we want. As for professionals, they often theorize on the basis of information or implication. I just hope hey would label it as such.

PS: Is the issue gay or bisexual. Since we know he had a wife, children and mistresses, it would seem the allegation would be that he swung from both sides of the plate.

Pssst! Some of us are just jovial.

"Alexander had 3 wives and several mistresses. He had children."


What does that prove?

A deep friendship is not necessarily bi-sexual although most homosexuals interpret any close friendship as homosexual and prove their point by claiming that the denials of same are proof of it.

Well, they also try to claim David and Jonathan were gay, event though there is no evidence, and their culture and religion was deeply opposed to homosexuality.

Facts and liberalism don't mix.

According to the experts on the History Channel on Tuesday night, Allie boy's lover was Hephastian (sp?). Also, when I was in college, we studied Mary Renault's writings. She was considered one of many authorities on ancient Greece. Homosexuality was the norm for males of ancient Greece, especially boys in the bath houses. Women existed to procreate and keep the house while the real pleasure for the boys was in homosexuality.

Stop, or I'll scratch your eyes out!

It is contemporaneous evidence of Alexander engaging in normal sexual behavior. To be contrasted with the total absence of evidence to the contrary.

Does anyone have information about the early returns of Stone's "gay" movie?

[26lemoncharlie]

The word "GAY" has been so misaligned by this Unholy abominal practice.

[F16Fighter]

Oliver Stone merely mimics the behavior of his world -- Hollywood -- and applies it to ALL his films.

One can only hope Stone stays away from producing childrens' themes.

"Alexander had 3 wives and several mistresses. He had children."

What does that prove?

Only that his natural function was in working order. It does not disprove the negative.

[F16Fighter]

Word is the film is a pain in the @ss...

[Libloather]

Don't ax, don't tell...

[O.C. - Old Cracker]

Speak for yourself.

[O.C. - Old Cracker]

This kind of garbage film making runs in the family. What do you expect from Oliver Stone? His nephew, Matt Stone, produces similar garbage.

[fish hawk]

Most gays are queer.

[nmh]

It's another disgusting attempt to rewrite history to bolster the miserable "gay" life style CHOICE. They are desperately seeking to have someone, who is "gay" as a hero.

Actually, if you read Dioneysseus' critically acclaimed biography of Alexander, you'll know that...

"And yet, despite his prowess upon the field of battle, it was said that Alexander was verily good with colours, always sharply turned out and that he was appreciative of the arts."

And I think we know what that means...
