I have to argue that Alexander at the minimum engaged in long term homosexual relations. This was not uncommon in the greek culture of his day. EternalCritic 18:00, 10 November 2008 (EST)

I had occasion to reread Xenophon's The Persian Expedition recently. Some of the Greeks had their boys along with them. That isn't revisionism...it's primary source. AlanE 18:28, 10 November 2008 (EST)
But that does not mean they had them along for sexual purposes, as gay liberals claim.--Saxplayer 20:32, 10 November 2008 (EST)
I am not going to go through and look for it, but the context was certainly sexual. It was a 1940's translation...Rex Warner...and I remember the class sniggering about it in the late fifties when it was read for our curriculum.AlanE 21:12, 10 November 2008 (EST)
I've just thought...it seems ironic - or appropriate - that I have just been getting rid of the red links on Edward II. Including Berkeley Castle.AlanE 21:34, 10 November 2008 (EST)

not supported with any citations see conservapedia commandments. Quite right. Do you want cites that claim the individual was gay, or cites that claim that they aren't, or one of each, or what? What would be the best way to proceed? I think the article needs examples.--Hsmom 22:03, 10 November 2008 (EST)
