He was Greek. The point with them was to be the “active” partner. But if he was the “passive” one, nobody would have known.

Different times. Different customs.

Standard historical revisionist crapola...

Netflix can go to hell.

Joan of Arc was trans supposedly.

[Dalberg-Acton]

This kind of thing is why I boycott Netflix.

A lot of powerful men went both ways, they married to have families, especially sons, but they also indulged being with young men. I saw a thing on this on YouTube about Roman Men so I will assume that may have been the practice with Greeks, Romans and others in that area.

I don’t think he was gay, but I have a book that was printed in the sixties that surmised he had a singular same-sex relationship with his top general.

[Bikkuri]

I wonder if they mean QUEER?

They claim Lincoln had gay lovers during his log cabin days.

They claim King David and Jonathan were gay lovers.

The list of historical figures "discovered" to be gay is never ending.

What really mattered AFAIK, was whether you were a pitcher or a catcher. From my reading it appears that Big Al was a pitcher.

If it’s Netflix, and if it’s about Alexander the Great, it’s going to focus on the gay crap.

[ElkGroveDan]

Let’s just get it over with. Every historical figure was gay, and black, and trans

I still remember, 53 years ago the entertainment media falling all over themselves trying to prove Leonardo de Vinci was a homo in an excellent documentary on his life.
The only “evidence” they showed was one incident in which he and other men were arrested one some unlisted charge, and released when one of the men proved to be a kin of someone high in power.

***Feel free to post that EVERY Western hero was gay***

I remember 54 or so years ago, some woman writer wrote a book “proving” most cowboys, including Wild Bill Hickock were homos, because they had long hair and claimed they had sex with their horses.

Wow what things I still remember from the news in my old age!

And syphilis was later said to come from Columbus’ find of the new world and his sailors diddling them, bringing it home to Europe.
Back around 1968 or so Playboy Magazine had a short article in Letters to the Editor” on that. Playboy would not lie would they?

The demonic forces behind all this are insistent on forcing their way into every orifice, including any opening they imagine that history affords. Thus they imagine what they can only wish the word of God taught and sanctioned, as they assert David and Jonathan, Daniel and a enuch, Ruth and Naomi and others engaged in what Scripture only condemns. http://peacebyjesus.net/homosex_versus_the_bible.html Beside, these prohomosex prevaricators can only assert Alexander were biasexual, since ancient reports state that Alexander and Barsine became lovers, as Alexander was enthralled by her beauty and knowledge of Greek literature. Alexander married three times: to Roxana of Bactria, Stateira, and Parysatis, daughter of Ochus. He fathered at least one child, Alexander IV of Macedon.

Olympias was Molossian. Epirus corresponds partly to what is the extreme northwestern part of Greece (opposite Corfu) and partly the nearby part of Albania, but the Molossi appear to have been in the area that now belongs to Greece.
