As far as Leonardo, he was a great artist and genius who unfortunately succumbed, from what I have read, to his homosexual attractions. Just imagine how much greater he would have been if his character and behavior had been more healthy and virtuous!
Well considering who he was rumored to sleep with, I doubt he would have gotten as far if he had be straight. Anyway, he was a genius who understood more about human nature than you or I. His codex and he studies on the human anatomy for example
Speak for yourself, dude.
Anyone - so-called genius or no - who succumbs to the desire for same sex sodomy, does NOT know more about human nature than I do.
