Btw, while he's technically not wrong (as Alexander was probably Bisexual instead of fully Gay) he's still participating in Queer erasure by posting this shit.
I do not believe it is appropriate to apply modern conceptualisations of sexuality to people that would have never thought of themselves this way. For this reason, Alexander was not bisexual.
Alexander was (as we would call him today) UNDOUBTEDLY Bisexual, he just didn't call himself that because labels like "Gay" or "Bi" simply didn't exist in his time. That and the Greeks understood male - male relationships differently than we do today. I could elaborate more if you want, but I think I'll leave it there : )
Well, this is like calling a bavarian from the 17th century german. The idea of the german nation did not exist yet, so if you call him german you will kind of give a wrong idea of who he was.
It is not just the case that the words did not exist yet, the concepts did not exist. People then understood sexuality in a completely different way.
