This morning was a real shocker for me because I read from a newspaper that Leonardo da Vinci was gay. What?! He's a gay? For real? Oh, I still can't believe it and I'm still in shock because I really idolise that man.
As I read between the lines, it seems that all the words that describe him as gay can't really sink in on my mind because every time I look into his artworks, it seems that a perfect man has no problem with his gender. I'm not against him being gay, I was just shocked that a great painter like him has also dark and deep secrets. Who would forget his Monalisa painting? Those perfect lines through Monalisa's face were perfectly created and even the colors used were extremely superb. According to the newspaper, if you'll just notice some of da Vinci's paintings, the theme was very womanish and at the same time, it will also arouse some of men's passion about sex (READ: EROTIC). Now I get the point, maybe I'm just too blind to see the other side of da Vinci. I'm just only focusing on his paintings, him as a painter, and not on the person behind those world-class paintings.
Though that article gave me a hard time accepting the fact of da Vinci's sexual preferences, my admiration for him still lingers on and being gay doesn't mean that a person is worthless. A proven example is Leonardo da Vinci, yes he's gay but he deserved all the accolades he received during his prime years and up to this date! :)
