Is it true that Greece is up in arms over the Alexander movie because they portray him as bisexual? One of my coworkers told me that today ("it smuts up his image" were her exact words *rolls eyes*) but I haven't heard this anywhere else.

I mean. Dude. He was Greek.

can anyone confirm or deny?

I've heard about that

I've read it on imdb.com and I've also heard about it on entertainment shows.

It's not all of Greece to be fair, it's a group of lawyers (wtf??) who are mad, because they believe that Alexander was strictly heterosexual.

A group of Greek lawyers is suing the production for 'damaging' the image of Alexander the Great. Their position is that he was straight.

Don't you just want to laugh at the whole thing? I mean, really. It's Alexander!
