Bosch plays Bagoas, a Persian eunuch, who many historians believe was Alexanders lover.
There's no evidence that Alexander was bisexual, gay, or ever had a single sexual encounter with another man. Speculation about him having sex with the eunuch were recently advanced by Mary Renault in her trilogy and are a pure fantasy.
The modern day homosexual community has adopted Alexander the Great as 'one of their "own". They are incredibly dishonest, if not just ignorant, people. The same sort of people who say Achilles was gay because his best friend was Patroclus... Basically, any historical (or fictional) person who had a male friend is now obviously homosexual.
Leave to Stone and others like him to choose the unsubstantiated idea that Alaexander liked homosex over evidence.

You are correct. They have been trying to make the same implications towards David and his friend Jonathon...yes, that David and Jonathon. Giant slayer and all that.
