As someone who really studies the life and art of Leonardo, I have been horrified by the co-opting of the poor man by gay men. I have been told over and over by gays that Leo was “gay” and living a “gay lifestyle.” The utter lack of culture among modern homosexuals is stunning. Most of them think that Leonardo and Michelangelo lived together and spent their off hours at the Renaissance equivalent of Home Depot.
The buttsex mafia loves enlisting dead celebrities to their cause, since the are unable to defend themselves. Thus, at one point or another, the lable has been hung on Jesus, Lincoln, Michelangelo, Leonardo, Emily Dickenson, James Buchanan, Baron Von Steuben... the list is endless.
