During Alexander's time, being homosexual was considered masculine and healthy. By denying his homosexual nature you are damaging his character, attempting to portray him as a lesser man, at least to his contemporaries.

The west had no concept of homosexuality being a negative trait until the rise of Christianity. Various cultures had different rules and concepts about homosexuality, but none of them outright condemned all forms of it. Christianity, as a holdover from Jewish law, condemned homosexuality.

Homosexuality was prevalent in the West, among the various pagans the Christians were surrounded by. Therefore, homosexuality was condemned due to being associated with paganistic heathenry, especially due to some religious and polyamorous natures of their homosexuality.

Paul, in his letters, condemned both homosexuality and women speaking in Church in the same passage, mainly for these reasons. If Paul had never condemned homosexuality, we could see a very different west today.

Albania wasnt called that till 1912. highly doubt Alexander was Turkish. Literal retardation of nationalistic people is amazing. Next youll tell me Saladin is Iraqi instead of Kurdish, fucking monkey.

Alexander being of barbarian and Albanian heritage explains his homosexual tendencies, and especially his constant pillaging and destroying of historical cities.

The Macedonians were only referred to as "non-greeks" because they were nomadic barbarians for centuries who plagued the southern city states. They were the same ethnicity, both greeks. But one was civilized and the other lived and fought on the horse. The Macedonians were Greeks and when they began to become civilized, their famous heavy cavalry became a powerful new addition to the Greek armies. Eventually this same heavy cavalry would be the key for Alexander in conquering Persia.

Alexander the great was half Greek and half Albanian (his mother Olympias was Albanian).

Greeks referred to Macedonians as non-Greek. More importantly, Macedonians referred to themselves as non-Greek. Yet Macedonians spoke some Greek like language and worshipped their deities. Scientifically, there are two equally likely answers: Macedonian was a Greek culture. Or Macedonian was an entirely separate culture with (massive) Greek influence. What is absolutely batshit crazy: to claim that Bulgarian Slavs who immigrated 500 years later are somehow related to the ancient Macedonians.
