Not enough people talk about the fact that Leonardo da Vinci was gay. Like, he’s literally the father of modern technology and one of the smartest human beings to ever live and I never ever learned in school that he was gay.
If all the LGBT people are as “DOOMED” as the bible thumpers think we are, hell, at least we’re in good company.
I was about to say I can’t believe I didn’t know this
and then I remembered the American education system
Yes, I can fucking believe I didn’t know this.
But yeah. Leonardo da Vinci was gay. Pass it on.
Leo painted a picture of his lover as Jesus and that’s the image we use today
Fun fact, my main man Leo was actually arrested briefly for sodomy because…well, long messy story involving the di Medicis and other powerful families of the day wanting him to basically sit down and shut up. Also he tended to have very attractive male ‘assistants’ and ‘apprentices’ who liked to draw dicks and butts in their sketchbooks, and if that doesn’t tell you some shit, I just dunno what to say.
