Michealangelo was a homosexual, does that mean his sculptures were bad ?

Ann Rand is ia celebrated writer, if she hadn’t written what she wrote she would be forgotten.

in short art transcends the artist

This article is is silly

Damn, I hate it when conservatives accept liberal BS. Michelangelo was not a homosexual. His contemporaries sneered about what he was doing with corpses, and he wrote in a very flush tone about male friends, but which were normal before men had to worry about being called homosexual.

(seriously, look at the way he draws a weenie, and tell me he was a homosexual.)

And by the way, I get the larger point you’re trying to make, but it doesn’t really hold up for Ayn Rand. Her books aren’t mere fiction; they are philosophy which uses fiction to contextualize her sermons. The fact she so terribly fails to live up to her own standards and found the lifestyles she propounded to be such miserable suffering shows she does not understand the human nature she proposes to instruct us about.
