Line 23:
* [[Heartbroken Badass]]
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: He, John Laurens, and the Marquis de Lafayette were so close that Alexander's son John would call them the "three musketeers".
* [[Historical Beauty Update]]: When the ten-dollar bill was upgraded, Alexander Hamilton, despite already being handsome by many measures, was still given a streamlined face lift. Compare [http://www.purplehunt.com/images/ten_dollar_bill.jpg old] vs. [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/84/10_doller_bill_of_usa_new_2005_face.jpg new]{{Dead link}}. It's relatively subtle idealizing, but nonetheless...
* [[Ho Yay]]: There are some amateur historians who think that he and John Laurens may have had at the very least a romantic friendship between each other; the same could be said between Hamilton and LaFayette, who were life-long friends until Hamilton's death. However, it's also worth mentioning that Hamilton had eight children with his wife, and his one known extramarital affair was with a woman.
** It's hardly just the amateur historians. Ron Chernow, an extremely well-respected historian, supports the theory. He shows an avid interest in Hamilton's sexuality throughout the course of his biography, and really likes to point out how feminine Hamilton was, especially for someone with a military background, to slightly amusing results.
