For centuries, people have been speculating about who modeled for Leonardo Da Vinci's "Mona Lisa." Was it Lisa Gherardini, the wife of a Florentine merchant? Was it Isabella of Aragon? Was it the artist himself, as some experts believe? Or was it, as new research suggests, none of the above?
An Italian art historian, Silvano Vinceti, believes the model for the "Mona Lisa" was a man named Gian Giacomo Caprotti, better known as Salai, a male apprentice (and possible lover) of da Vinci...

“a male apprentice (and possible lover) of da Vinci...”
Yes, also all the founding fathers were gay or transsexuals.

I know what you mean, but in Leonardo’s case it’s probably true.

Well, doubt they had the means for a sex change but they were obviously all transvestites. There were an awful lot of wigs and lace happening there.

Not everyone, but it seems clear that DaVinci was.

It’s been proved that she was married to a banker in Florence, his name was Francesco del Giocondo. He is the one who commissioned Leonardo to paint the portrait. Unfortunately he never received the painting, Leonardo carried it with him until his death in 1519.

I seriously doubt it. There is no record whatsoever of DaVinci having any lover of any sex. He wrote that human (not male, not female) genitals were "ugly." Hardly sounds like someone who was interested in sex with anyone. There was also a system for anonymously reporting people who did "wrong" things to the authorities in Milan. They placed boxes (like suggestion boxes) throughout town where you could drop your accusations.
Although Da Vinci had church permission to do autopsies for the purpose of drawing the internal structures of the human body it was still very controversial and he had many enemies in the church and in government because of it.
If you come up with some proof that Da Vinci was gay instead of the usual homo-agenda BS I'd be interested in seeing it.

No problem. I see no harm in injecting facts into a discussion. :-)

Wasn’t too sure if someone wouldn’t research the claim. No worries. :)
