I really don't know. From what I've read, Alexander was bisexual, like many Greek men of his day. He was married, but didn't seem particularly fond of his wife. It's hard to know the truth of these things because of the penchant of academia to try to out historical figures as "gay" to advance the agenda.
Trying to define Greeks as gay or straight is an anachronism IMHO, as Greeks did not regard homosexual relationships as the equivalent of marriage.

Was Alexander really a homosexual? Homosexual is Latin. Perhaps Alexander was autonomous, or hydrophobic. Or, in keeping with your question, Sapphic, although that is generally used for women.

If so, I don't want to hear about those "staff meetings".
