Michelangelo, IIRC, was a little bit of a nut. Many of the best artists have some issues. However, these stories are nothing new. In my art history classes, some of the instructor's stated that he included some of the church elders in the boat to damnation.

There were also claims going around that he was homosexual, mostly based on the fact that his female forms displayed primarily masculine characteristics.

Except for the breasts, this female has the characteristics of a male. As far as I know, there are no records of him engaging in homosexual conduct.

NOT Michelangelo, but definitely painted by a screaming queen:

There are also some historians that speculate some of Michelangelo's women were based on female stone-cutters working in the marble quarries.

As far as I know, there are no records of him engaging in homosexual conduct.

No, but in all of his art, there is not one nude woman and all of his women are very matronly looking. His men, OTOH...women agree with his taste.

His surviving letters suggest he was bisexual in his interests, but of course, there’s no actual proof that he engaged in any kind of intercourse, so... :’)

Those "breasts" look like implants.

Nothing real about that "woman."
