Was Socrates and Plato homosexual?

by 1OneBaller

Hey there everyone,

When I first started getting interested in philosophy I did some research on the Ancient Greek philosophers and it said somewhere that Socrates and Plato were homosexual and I just took it at that, but after a few months I started researching and found out that the term ‘homosexual’ in Ancient Greece was very different to what it was today so now I’m very confused on what being homosexual meant in Ancient Greece and if Socrates and Plato were both gay.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
