Homosexuality has existed since ancient times. Needless to say, the Greek period. The list of parents of modern western art is gay. Like Schubert. It is reported that Brahms, Chopin, Beethoven and even Tolstoy all have homosexual tendencies. Of course, the most famous and unquestionable gay artists are Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Caravaggio. There are more homosexuals in the field of humanities and arts in the 2th century: Bater, Foucault, Warhol, Rosenberg, pasolini and so on. In China, as a famous gay artist, there is still a need to prove that in ancient times, Zheng Banqiao was one, and his lover appeared in his poems and paintings, with a name and surname. So is Yuan Mei. His Poems with the Garden and Zi Wu Yu, as well as Ji Xiaolan's Notes on Reading Micro-thatched Cottage, Qian Yong's Notes on Walking in the Garden and Shen Defu's Remaining Words on My Broom in the Ming Dynasty, all write about homosexuality, which is neither surprising nor taboo, nor even condemnatory. Homosexuality is not a social problem in the history of China. Eight of the 12 emperors in the Eastern Han Dynasty were homosexual, or at least bisexual.

Tchaikovsky: Basically, his music is beautiful and sad, and his feelings are very delicate. Because of homosexual behavior, he was sued to the emperor and finally had to commit suicide.

Wilde: He was also accused of homosexual acts, but the difference is that Wilde went to prison for it.

Leonardo da Vinci: He is a versatile man. He can design buildings, 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 committing homosexual love with his classmates. Many people say that the Mona Lisa is based on a man who has a strange cross-dressing. Only that 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 I liked sketching since I was a child because of David. The perfect man full of strength and beauty seems to have a noble ancient Greek descent. Which lover is this based on? I don't know, but that magnificent beauty is extremely eternal. In particular, Lao Mi had many love poems. After his death, the publisher changed the male appellation in the poems to the 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. The Defeater is Gide's masterpiece, which tells the story of a young man who has a crush on boys. It is 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 test. 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 has a more persistent performance in this respect. When reading Li Sao, I read the sentence: "Only the grass and trees are scattered, and I am afraid that the beauty will be late." Chen Zizhan's explanation is: beauty, king. You can still read a lot. However, I was almost mad at the temptation of the phrase "the autumn wind curled up, and the waves in Dongting were under the leaves of trees":) If someone asked me who was the most beautiful in Nine Songs, I would say Xiang Jun who stood by the Dongting Lake and was swept by the autumn wind and autumn leaves. Really, the description of the male god in Nine Songs is more beautiful than that of the goddess.

It's hardly necessary to talk about those cultural giants in ancient Greece and Rome. In all likelihood, they all have homosexual tendencies. Later generations can find many accounts of this kind. 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 our usual eyes today. As we read only a rough translation, we can't see the ancient people's special worship of nudity and nude art, which we dislike. In France, people only use the word "beauty" to describe women. There was no chivalry in the ancient Greeks, but only the kind of love that we think is abnormal today. . . . . . . We can say. The emotions they cultivate are rejected by modern society. "

Socrates' Dialogue has an article called Fido. Fido was a beautiful boy of noble birth who was sold to a brothel because he was a prisoner of war. Socrates had a dialogue 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 ancient Greek sommeliers were all the most beautiful teenagers, and they passed the glasses with two fingers, with graceful and generous movements. Because ancient Greece was like this, anyone who listed a cultural giant would say that he was gay. Of course, not everyone was, but the problem was that it was prevalent at that time.
