Greetings,
well personally, I thought the comment was more insulting than funny - different viewpoints I suppose... :?
Without going into a discussion on Alexander's personal preferences, which after all, was part of what made him who he was; he did have a 'love' relationship with Hephaestion, regardless of just how physcially close they actually were....and men of that period (and later) did share beds and hug and kiss as close friends...
Oliver Stone didn't show anything that indicated Alexander as obviously 'gay' or 'bi' except maybe two scenes with Bagoas....the ONLY overtly sexual scene was with ROXANE who is FEMALE....!
(no, I am neither 'gay' nor 'bi'....
:wink: )
regards
Arthes

The enemy is less likely to get wind of an advance of cavalry, if the orders for march were passed from mouth to mouth rather than announced by voice of herald, or public notice. Xenophon
