No one has mentioned that Michelangelo was gay (hee-hee).

The buttsex crowd has been trying to claim him as one of their own for several decades now. They love "outting" dead people who can't defend themselves, but there's a problem: There is no evidence whatsoever to back up their claim other than the fact that he created the most beautiful male nude in history and he never married. However, he has been romantically linked to at least 3 women, the fact that he never married is understandable when you take the time to lear about his personal habits. Michelangelo was OBSESSED with his work. It was not uncommon for him to sculpt for 20 hours a day. He completed the Sistine Chapel Ceiling (a body of work that could have taken several artists working together a lifetime) in four years. By himself. Homosexuals define themselves by their perversion and can not relate to people who have more normal interests.

There is no evidence of Michaelangelo's supposed homosexuality. As far as can be known, he lived a life of incredibly hard work and sublimated his sexuality into the great art he created. No evidence exists of a physical relationship between Michaelangelo and a man or a woman, and no one can know for certain from his art whether he tended towards hetero- or homo- sexuality because the art itself extolled the physical beauty of both sexes.

What is known, however, is that Michaelangelo was a devout Catholic who spent every day of his long and fruitful life in one of three ways: asleep, at work, or in prayer.
