Yes. The oldest surviving reference we have of Alexander with the epithet, 'the Great', is found in a Roman play titled, "Mostellaria (The Haunted House) 775-7, a play written by Titus Maccius Plautus c. 254-184 BCE testifying to the admiration that the Romans had for his military achievements. This is roughly a century after Alexander's death in 323 BC.
Tranio: Alexandrum magnum, atque Agathoclem, aiunt maxumas
Duo res gessisse. Quid mihi fiet tertio, Qui solus facio facinora immortalia? `
The line from the play, "Alexandrum magnum atque Agathoclem aiunt maximas" in English reads, "Alexander the great and most importantly, they say, Agathocles". The character,
Tranio, a slave in Rome owned by Theopropides is comparing himself admiringly to Alexander and Agathocles.
We don't know if the playwright Titus Maccius Plautus coined the title but we can safely assume that his audience would recognize who 'Alexandrum magnum' was, an indication that the epithet predated Plautus' play and suggests that the Romans began styling Alexander as 'the great' fairly soon after his death.
Alexander apparently received that epithet from the Romans, who admired him. The oldest surviving reference of the title is found in the Mostellaria ("The Haunted House"), a play written by Titus Maccius Plautus (c. 254 - 184 BC). This is roughly a century or so after Alexander's death in 323 BC.

The problem here is with the question: the ancient Greeks (and Romans) had no words and hence no concept of what we call gay. If you are asking whether Alexander had sex with males, the answer is yes. But he also had sex with females and even eunuchs.
