then ask your selve why make a movie about homosexuals?.
Because he was a homosexual? Bi actually. I could see the problem if he WASN'T bi and they tried to portray him as such but he was so whats the problem? I think it lends a bit of accuracy to the film, although I admit I wouldn't want to watch two guys make out but I wouldn't need therapy for it either, nor would it make me want to have sex with a man.
Exactly Amuk...you know me and you and I have had great conversations...BTW sorry for going overboard....you can edit if you want. Just....people are soo neiave (sp?) about sexuality it scares me. Do you know how many men are out there spreading AIDS because they are "straight" ...you straight people don't even know...seriously...the
"down low" guys are a very SERIOUS problem...not only to the gay community but the straight one as well.

Again, how does portraying historical fact equal a distorted movie? Haven't seen the movie, and probably won't since i've heard it's not good. But the part you seem to have the most problem with is one of that is historicaly accurate.

Well the average gay man has like 100 parnters and the common secularist male has about 10, the christian male 5.
let make the caculation lets get 1 gay men.
100 men per that gay man..then that 100 each has sex with another 100 then 100.
100x100x100 = 1000000 gay men has contracted aids. just from one man.
Secularist 15 parnters
15x15x15 = 3757 aids victims.
Man that is virgin at marriage and never cheats gets aids from the needle and his wife never cheats.
victims = 1;

You're leaving out ALOT of variables there.
And your calculations are flawed. You're started off with AIDS in the beginning, all subsequent partners being exposed, and also assuming all gay sex is unprotected.

forgive me if I sound unduly stupid........but why would hollywood be "brainwashing people into homosexuals or bisexuals"?? there doesn't seem to be any point to it.
as for alexander, he was bi from everything I've heard/read.
And I agree with that other poster (no name in my memory, sorry! ) lets keep this civil. I don't get pissed off very easy, but when people start making racial/religious/sexual slurs, I get very mad.

Well doesn't matter now about protected sex, they created the first big cluster. In which only homosexual could create at the time since their large number of soddom parnters.
1.) its went from homosexuals and spread in their population.
2.) Then was transmitted by bisexual males from the homosexuals.
3.) Then was transmitted bisexual males to the straight females.
4.) From the straight females, it was transmitted to the straight males.
In order words straight males where last on the hit list,

While I think it's ridiculous to complain about the story line in Alexander, I think there is something to this topic. I have read too that Alexander the Great was bi sexul. In fact, I have heard that it was not that uncommon at the time, so the fact that it was portrayed in the movie, in my opinion, just makes the film more historically accurate (now enjoyable to sit through is a completely different story). The problem is though, that in todays society, especially the US, bi sexuality is considered by the majority to be taboo. The key word here is the "majority" which is why this agenda to bring bi sexuality and homosexuality to the fore front is so alarming to me. It's not a matter of sexual preference that bothers me, it's the fact that the minority, and not the majority, in this country are getting heard and getting things done.

I'm being realistic. He states he was homosexual so it should but in the film. I stated greeks where into young boys, but that was not put in the film, because it would offended the viewers of the troy movie.

Unless I am wrong Alexander, like a LOT of Greeks, Romans, and the men of other cultures at the time was pretty much openly bi.
The Companions were REAL close friends
Lots of the best fighting units at the time were made up of paired male lovers. Hollywood didnt make him Bi His Culture did
