This is because I couldn't think of any words for gay (homo, fairy etc) that rythmes with either Alexander, Greek or Great. So, there you go...

[Bobboau]

wasn't he though?

[Rictor]

shhh, they might hear you.

and yes, he was, as were most of his soldiers.

[Taristin]

It was socially acceptable then. And as much as I'd like to ask "Did civilization fall to ruins?" I know there are some people who will say yes.

[Grey Wolf]

You know, I could make a sarcastic comment right about now, but I won't.

On a side note, wasn't it theorized that he had an affair with one of his generals or something?

[Rictor]

And then proceeded to kill him with a spear, yes. Or something like that, I don't exactly remember.

[Mongoose]

They mention his death as "mysterious."  Didn't he just get completely trashed and die of alcohol poisoning?

"Spear". Hah.

[Flipside]

The funny bit is he's depicted as Bisexual, and the first comment from the Greek authorities is 'We have nothing against Gay's'.

Oooops showed your hand a little early there I think

I guess he can rape and pillage his way across the continent just fine as long as he doesn't have 'impure' thoughts about men

[SadisticSid]

Yet more evidence that the ancient Greeks were more sophisticated than their modern day counterparts

Greeks had a habit of celebrating victory with orgies....

Didn't anyone stop to think where, in the middle of a Battlezone, 12,000 warriors are going to find an equivalent number of female partners?

I hope they weren't into necrophilia, then.

Well, mythology includes a pregnancy by a Ram and a Shower of Gold, so it was obviously fun, fun, fun back in those days

[TrashMan]

Gays are sick people.
I don't hate them, I just feel sorry for them.
That is some sort of mental/hormonal disorder. In that case those people need our help (proffesional help)

If it's their own personal choice, then I'm perfectly allright with people shunning them (a bad choice...)

[Flipside]

There was a time when the 'sick' ones were the ones who persecuted minority groups that didn't affect them....

Wonder what happened those times?

[aldo_14]

Welcome to the 21st century.  Like the 19th, but with mass media.

In the eye of the nameless TRUE GOD, heterosexuals are disgusting and suffer from a mental/hormonal disorder.

However, since the followers of the TRUE GOD all died since they never bred... well...

Regardless... REPENT YOU... YOU... BREEDER!

[Flipside]

Ah well, let's keep this particular thread for bashing Hyprocritical, 'Europe is Free, America Isn't, but just don't mention the gays!' lawyers shall we

Buh?

Feel sorry for heterosexuals too?  What about Bis?  If it is a disorder as you state at the start of your post, then how can you be OK with people shunning them?

It's a difference, yes, but not a disorder. You're saying homosexuality is the same as Down's Syndrome or some other condition. And why the hell would gay people need "professional help"? It's not a mental illness, or a lifestyle choice. You either are, or you aren't. There's not a thing you can do about it (well, you could try to suppress your feelings and hide it, but you wouldn't be happy). People don't wake up one day and go "I know, I'm going to only have sex with other men from now on. That'll be t3h wicked!" ...

Your comment smacks of either ignorance or intolerance, and I find it rather offensive. I suggest you go and read some books....

As for the Alexander thing, those lawyers should be told to **** off and grow up...
