Oh, damn, this is awesome.

Thanks to agonistes for this link:

The Stranger's Homo History.

Really interesting and funny and just, basically, totally worth a look.

Exerpt:

Alexander the Great, the Greek king and conqueror from the fourth century B.C.E., mourned the loss of his lover, Hephaestion, by shaving his own hair, crucifying (literally) Hephaestion's doctor, and commissioning a giant and very expensive funeral pyre. Gay drama, it should be evident, is not unique to the modern era.
