Do you like to read Hephaistion? Maybe you can come by and help me straighten out my Longfellow.....
No. It doesn't. The fact is that we don't know. The 'academic' research that claims Alexander was gay/bisexual is about on par with the 'research' that claims Jesus was gay. It is poor science blended with a gay activist agenda.
It is true homo/bisexuality was more common in ancient Greece. Alexander may have been, but there is simply no compelling evidence of it. We simply don't know.
