Not only modern Greeks & Macedonians, even supposedly intellectual Western posters, all frothing at the mouth at the mere suggestion Alexander was "probably" gay. Seems obvious enough to me. Of course, there is no written proof as there were no labels for gay or bisexual in those times, but we do know about their customs and lifestyles.
These posters are only giving away their own prejudices and bigotry and probably the idea that the greatest Militarist and General who ever lived was, shock, horror......gay, or at the very least,bisexual!
These people prefer to live under an illusion Alexander and Hephaestion were "just very good friends".
Strange Marc Antony and Cleopatra have never been written of as "close friends"! :))
