A very interesting article discussing just how gay Alexander the Great really was...

I can remember in HS, in the 70's, our teacher talkin about Alexander the Great having a boy friend. It was, after all, the greek way. I read another article today about a bunch of greeks pissed because of the new stone movie and are sueing. If you wanta stir people up just bring up the idea of someone famous being gay.

Boy on a String

Hmmm... Interesting, many famous people in history were gay or at least bi. Shakespeare was in love with a Count, he wrote some of his love sonnets about him.

It's really amusing when someone totally homophobic sings the praise of a historical figure who was undoubtedly gay, and then screams when someone suggests it openly.

 

It's a bit like Lewis Caroll's 'Alice in Wonderland' being hailed as a literary classic, when the guy was quite oviously bang into cannabis and magic mushrooms.

 

Why can't people just live and let live? Beats me. Ok, there are some obvious practical limits, which involve and prevent others getting hurt as a result, but they that do protest too much - make me wonder sometimes!! :wacko:
