Alexander the Gay

You\'ll only like it cause di doesn\'t.

I had great expectations for this movie, but it seems that even an overly gay main protagonist won\'t save this movie.

[nO-One]

I never like these historical movies, just don\'t do it for me, the only one I\'ve ever liked was Calicula because people got sodomized in it.

Yeah alexander was bisexual and i think his main love interest was actually one of his best friends.

tough luck. I never planned on seeing the movie anyway.

[MPTheory]

they do make him look like a major homo in the previews.  when the elephant jumps up on its back legs.  the look on colins face is like "hmmm, I wonder how far I could shove that trunk up my ass".

Heh... well, it was common to get it on with small boys and the like back then.

*wishes he was Alexander*

uh, did I just type that :eek:

Like samwise said, being "gay" back then was nothing unusual (especially in the battlefield). Older men of higher status often enjoyed the company of young fit boys.. Just look at Rome and all of its leaders.

Then Christianity or something like that came around and frowned down on it and killed people for being gay and that attitude towards gays exist today. What happened? Wish we had the attitude of sexuality the ancients had.

Hold your horses Mr. Anti-Christ. The whole reason these Greeks were such flaming homosexuals was because of their distolerance towards women and believing that they are inferior and ignorant. Therefore they believed it best to sleep with a man first because men are of higher status.

lol @ titan.

Same mindset goes around the mideast.  My friend in the military who got back from there said a popular saying is "Men are for pleasure, women are for babies."

Personally I find men disgusting but whatever floats your boat.

"Men are for pleasure, women are for babies."

Um...no.

Agreed.

It wasn\'t anti-Christ. I was just saying something that historically happened. Just because I dont like organized religion doesnt\' mean everything I say is anti-religion. I was just saying sexuality was more open then than it is now. Things that were acceptable and natural are looked down on now. I dont mean just homosexuality. Men could have sex with women just for pleasure. I guess its still kind of like that today but in Greece, there were temple prostitutes. Try finding that in any religion today. You have to "have sex only after marriage" is what I was told growing up (mom is really religious).

I too don\'t have ANY attraction to men. I can\'t see myself having sex with guys or hooking up or whatever. I only have hooked up with chicks and that\'s how it will stay. But if someone is gay and likes that, that\'s perfectly fine by me. I have a couple friends who are gay and it doesn\'t bother me. I find women pleasureable

Nah, nah Titan... You specifically pointed the finger of blame to Christianity for being the sole root of discrimination towards gays. It may have been an upside that sexuality was more open then, however they were being highly sexist towards women, as they treated them like shit.

Yeah, but its a historical fact. Religions like Christianity back then spoke out against gays. I also said "Christianity or something like that".
