Tchaikovsky: Basically, his music is beautiful and sad, and his feelings are very delicate. Because of homosexuality, he was sued to the emperor and finally had to commit suicide.
Oscar Wilde: It was also because of homosexual behavior that the defendant went to court. The difference is that Wilde went to prison for it.
Da Vinci: He is a versatile man. He can design architecture, understand astronomy, dissect well, and so can music. He can also invent many things, including weapons. At the age of 24, he was accused of having homosexual sex with his classmates. Many people say that the Mona Lisa is based on a man with strange cross-dressing. Just such a smile has deceived countless people.
Michelangelo: Basically, Michelangelo is related to several of his male models. Especially the love with male model Cavallini was made into a movie by later generations. I remember that because of David, I like sketching since I was a child. The perfect man full of strength and beauty seems to have noble ancient Greek descent. Which lover is this based on? I don't know, but that magnificent beauty is extremely eternal. Especially old rice has many love poems. After his death, the publisher changed the male appellation in poetry to female appellation.
Gide: Not long ago, I read a book about Nobel Prize in Literature winners. When I talked about Gide, I didn't mention that he was gay. I just think such taboos are boring. Deserter is Gide's masterpiece, which tells the story of a young man who secretly loves boys. Almost Gide's autobiography.
Qu Yuan: No one can prove that Qu Yuan and his disciple Song Yu have a teacher-student relationship similar to the ancient Greek exam. But more than one person mentioned that the relationship between Qu Yuan and Chu Huaiwang was special. I always thought that the relationship between monarch and minister in ancient China was similar to that of love. Qu Yuan is more persistent in this respect. When reading Li Sao, I read a sentence: "Only the grass and trees are scattered, and I am afraid that the beauty will be late." Chen Zizhan's explanation is: beauty is king. You can still read a lot. But I was almost mad at the temptation of the phrase "autumn wind curled up and waves in Dongting Lake were under the leaves": (If someone asked me who was the most beautiful among the nine songs, I would say Xiang Jun who stood by Dongting Lake and was swept away by autumn wind and autumn leaves. Really, the description of the male god in the nine songs is more beautiful than the goddess.
It is almost unnecessary to say that the cultural giants of ancient Greece and Rome. Nine times out of ten, they all have homosexual tendencies. Later generations can find many such accounts. I just need to quote a passage from Stendhal's On Love: "Nothing is more ridiculous than we look at the ancients and ancient art with ordinary eyes today. Because we read only a rough translation, we can't see the ancient people's special worship of nudity and nude art, which we are disgusted with. In France, people only use the word "beauty" to describe women. The ancient Greeks had no chivalry, only the kind of love that we think is abnormal today. . . . . . . We can say. The emotions they cultivate are rejected by modern society. "
There is an article in Socrates' dialogue called Fido. Fido is a noble beautiful boy. Because he is a prisoner of war, he was sold to a brothel. Socrates had a conversation with him about the immortality of the soul. Plato's Drinking is the most important work about homosexuality in ancient Greece. What I want to say here is that the sommeliers in ancient Greece were all the most beautiful teenagers, holding the glass with two fingers and moving gracefully. Because ancient Greece was like this, anyone who lists a cultural giant will say that he is gay. Of course, not everyone was, but the problem was that it was prevalent at that time. (These are from my book The Weathering History of Ancient Greece. Author: a famous German scholar. 2000 edition home page)
