CARAVAGG: GAY IN BORN TOO LATE?
How ironic, I’d realize later, for a relign that hated the dread “gays” to love Michelangelo, Leonardo, etc. Christians loved the movie The Passn of the Christ. The director, Mel Gibson, spoke… * was caravaggio gay *
As gay in, father of morn patg and enigmatic artistic rebel, he speaks volum to 21st century dienc visg his current exhibn Rome. Caravagg may have taken the male portra a step further than the Classil tradn (addg quirky realism to the mix) but there’s no doubt that he revived an appreciatn for the male body (and unrton of a disurse on gay love) that had been pretty much stamped out sce the late fourth century AD.
A gay in he may be, but there is no nclive evince to suggt that Michaelangelo Merisi da Caravagg was homosexual.

Gay or straight though, Caravagg remas a gay in for several reasons.
WHY RSIA SHOULD BAN MICHELANGELO AND CARAVAGG'S GAY 'PROPAGANDA'

In any se, Caravagg lived at a time when havg a public gay relatnship wh another man was jt about impossible. Nohels, art crics believe that some of Caravagg’s work was pated for an unrground homosexual scene that existed Rome at that time, which clud the rich rdal l Monte and his artistic circle of iends.
However, any homosexual eroticism was refully hidn. A hundred and fifty years before Caravagg, Florence and Venice had bee Renaissance ci where homosexual relatnships between men were wily acceptable. The Roman tolerance was drawg to an end by the late fourth century AD, when the Christian emperor Theodosi I passed a law 390 nmng to ath by beg burnt at the stake if ught havg gay sex.
