Leonardo da Vinci way gay. His historic and famous mural of The Last Supper was completed in 1498. The mural depicts the reaction of each apostle when Jesus said that one of them would betray him. I wonder if Leonardo envisioned that the Catholic church would betray gays for centuries to come?
Michelangelo was gay. His incredible fresco adorns the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican in Rome. Commissioned by Pope Julius II, Michelangelo created his masterpiece between 1508-1512. I wonder if the Pope knew he was gay?
Strangely, though da Vinci and Michelangelo lived and worked in the same era, it is said that they disliked each other intensely. Go figure!
