Very Gay. Very Busy. In History — A Series (Part 1)

I’ve been thinking a lot about how q***rness shows up in history—not as a headline, but as a quiet through-line. So I’m starting a small series about it. Consider this the first entry.

Leonardo da Vinci is a good place to begin.

This isn’t a hot take. It’s just the historical record. As a young man in Florence, Leonardo was accused (and later cleared) in a so**my case—something preserved in court documents, not rumor. He never married, left no evidence of romantic relationships with women, and spent much of his adult life in deep, enduring companionship with men who lived and worked alongside him for decades.

His art reflects this sensibility too: the attention to male beauty, softness, ambiguity, and intimacy. Even people in his own time noticed. It’s part of what gives his work that quietly magnetic quality.

None of this requires modern labels. People didn’t think in those terms then. But it does suggest that one of the greatest minds in history lived and loved outside convention—and that this was woven into how he saw the world.

I find that comforting. There’s something grounding about knowing that brilliance, curiosity, tenderness, and q***rness have always coexisted. Not loudly. Just persistently.

That spirit—being openly oneself while also deeply engaged in the work of living—makes Davinci in my book, Very Gay. and Very Busy.
