Leonardo Da Vinci gay?

[I. Cold]

I spell that right??

Im taking an art class.. my teacher said Da Vinci (sp?) was most likely a gay man. What's your guys' take on this?

I'm actually gonna watch the Da Vinci Code right now... I'll let yall know if its worth the rent.

I think many men of the European renaissance were gay or bi.

 

[iaoish]

Most men in ancient times where.. not only europeans but in ancient asia too. I've also heard these rumours about Leonardo, but I don't see how this has got to do anything with him, the man was brilliant .. who cares about his sexual life

LOL, you added the Asians too, I just noticed your from Europe so you didn't want to feel alone, LMAO! I don't support gay things, so if he made a picture of a man sodomizing another, that's art? To the Gay Eye, yes, to the straight Eye, Nay!

i remember a teacher of mine sayin that the mona lisa was actually a split personality of leanardo.. that he was tryin to show the world his women side.. or sum bullshit like that..

 

[iaoish]

Yes I'm from Europe but that's not the reason I added the asians too, tho

maybe if he painted a picture of 2 men it would be renaisance porn

damn it seems like everybody know a days is fucking bi or gay. I have nothing against them, as long as they dont involve me in their gay actions, but its not something i like.

 

[iaoish]

Leonardo is already dead for some 500 years or so..

I never heard about this before (never looked too much into Da Vinci, but we're about to get to the Renaissance in my history class, so I'll bring it up when we get to him), but I did a google search and this site came up: http://www.trivia-library.com/b/was-renaissance-artist-leonardo-da-vinci-gay-part-2.htm

In 1476 Leonardo and three other young Florentines were anonymously accused of committing sodomy with an angelically beautiful boy model and male prostitute named Jacopo Saltarelli.

The case for Leonardo's homosexuality rests first on this incident. Secondly, there is absolutely no trace of a woman in his life, but there was a series of beautiful boy apprentices of apparently little artistic talent.

p.s. gayheroes.com thinks he was gay, too.
