You might wish to read up on art history: Sistine ceiling was finished by a 37yrs old (1512), Judgment was finished by a 66yrs old (1541). In his 70s he was painting the walls of the Capella Paolina - next door to the Sistine, but completely different. And it was Leonardo who was a homo, while Michelangelo was merely manic-depressive. Besides, with his personal hygiene [his father advised him never to wash] getting younger lovers must have been problematic, to say the least.

I'll defer to your expertise on homosexual artists. However, you may wish to read this.

Not only was he depressed, but stinkin' depressed.
