TMZ reports:
Conservatives are up in arms over Netflix’s depiction of Alexander The Great as a gay man in their new docuseries despite a long-standing belief that the dude was definitely bi.
The “End Wokeness” X account — widely known in right-wing circles — took offense to ATG, played by Buck Braithwaite, passionately kissing his pal/ potential lover Hephaestion early in the first episode of “Alexander: The Making of a God”.

As you can see below, the QAnon Shaman – of all people – came to Netflix’s defense as did hundreds of self-avowed cultists. But thousands of others piled on with batshit claims about “woke” Hollywood.
End Wokeness, whose Netflix tweet has over 23 million views, first appeared here when it spearheaded a successful bullying campaign to force the US Navy to delete its Pride Month tweet.

Just FYI from my reading of history, Alexander the Great was a well known bisexual who actually preferred men.

It’s still unproven speculation and should definitely not be shoved into the first 8 minutes
