I’m not trying to be a smartass,just curious: what do you think of Carravagio, Durer or. Michelangelo ? I once read passing reference to homosexuality as “ the humanist disease” in a biography on Albrecht Durer.
Like it or not, a substantial proportion of the advances made in the Renaissance were made by homosexuals. It doesn’t diminish their work in my eyes because that issue seems insignificant beside what they accomplished.
Like you though, when I hear of this great homosexual artist I just know it` s going to be crap. Artists want universal recognition— targeting a particular market tells you there is limited appeal
I really should be more clear with my response. It’s not whether or not they’re homosexual. It’s the proud to be homosexual attitude. It’s the making a big deal of their homosexuality.
For what it’s worth, I have a homosexual son that is 50.
