Was audie murphy gay

Plutarch had earlier sources, and there are several primary sources for anything in classical history. I still don’t see what’s supposed to be “ironic” about that.

ETA: ‘Pussified’ in re: ancient sources, not SDMB posters.

Murphy's father, Emit, fell concise on his parental responsibilities, continuing to father children, 12 in all, despite the fact that he had no plan for how to feed them. Picking up the slack, Murphy helped feed his mother and siblings by hunting rabbits and other small animals around their property.
