Like actual information? Is it just meme or is there actual discussion behind the topic?

If anyone wants more historical figures edited just post them and maybe tag me

There were friends. Guys can be best friends and not be gay.

Damn, I would kill to have a friend like that again.

See the bit titled 'Birth of Friendship'

There's no real mention in the text of gayness. It's something people talk about but there's nothing there in the primary material.

That's really stretching the meaning of kingship. I have to admit I didn't understand the half of it 😅😅😅

Thanks for the link btw

Wow, so they traveled together and according to the woman in the audio clip, they were noted as sexual lovers? I see why there's a debate. Thanks again.
