I don't think he was a full blown faggot but Diogenes literally sent him a letter accusing him of being "ruled by Hephaestion's thighs".

That's kind of hard to dismiss isn't it? And once you look into Alexanders up bringing, his strange relationship with his mother, his failed relationship with his father... It does make sense that he would "experiment" with his best childhood friend.

When Hephaestion finally died Alexander made the whole city mourn his death and Alexander suffered a mental breakdown. No one can deny this. He went nuts, he wanted to die in battle with his best friend and (supposed) lover Hephaestion. But Hephaestion died of some infection.

Then suddenly, once they went back into battle, Alexander starts getting drunk and "accidentally" killing his best friends... That sounds like someone who can't come to terms with the fact they lost their closest friend and possible lover.

I think it's a cute story anyway
