IIRC, Alexander the Great was a Great Warrior, and a homosexual. Many soldiers and warriors were. For muscular men with raging hormones, women were rarely available except after an invasion (rape and pillage of a village).

He was not , however a faggot. A queer. Being homosexual (expecially in the dedicated warriors group) was considered normal. Besides, whose gonna question a guy who could cut you in half just for looking at him wrong?

The point is that Alex never made his homosexuality (or anyone else’s) an issue.

The problem with modern homosexuals is that they are being promised special considerations, a springboard to power, and a chance to make heterosexuals literally kiss their ass.

They, like the negroes, are being used by the wealthy and powerful to play chess with the world’s resources and land.

They are being promised much, as long as they destroy the unity and soul of the nation.

What they don’t know, is when the takeover is made public, they will be lined up against the wall and shot.

IIRC Alexander was encased in honey and then his body was on display in Alexandria well into Roman times. Many ancient writers visited and saw it.

This new tomb might be that of a major figure, but is therefore not likely to be Alex’s.

Actually, women were nearly always available. They were the camp followers who served as washer women, and in other roles.

I read an article about a year ago claiming that there's no real evidence that Alexander was gay.

That was the first time I'd heard that. It was pretty convincing.
