I might also add, why is Stone even mentioning it.

You know why. It has nothing to do with history or historical accuracy. It has everything to do with trying to convince the American peeples that homosexuality is pretty common and that one of the greatest conquerers in the history of the world was gay, proving that gays are tough, warlike MEN.

I am interested in military history. I have always been interested in Greek history and Alexander.

I wouldn't see this movie because I heard Farrell make an anti-Iraq War remark. I can't listen to or see the work of liberal entertainers anymore.

I wouldn't see a Stone movie.

One time I looked up "Bagoas." He was described as a "favorite" of Alexander.

...and, of course, to make a buck by titillating people's interest.
