Gay Guys From History
Michelangelo
Michelangelo lived from 1475-1564. He was a true Renaissance Man, being a painter, sculptor, architect, and sketcher, among other skills. He carved The Pieta and David before he was 30, he painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and well as painting the Last Judgement on the Altar Wall, among his other works.
He also wrote homoerotic poetry and sonnets to several men during his later years.POLT

There is also Leonardo DaVinci too. A lot of the renaissance was brought to the world by gay men.
Which is interesting since the Roman Catholic church, the main patron of those artists is viciously homophobic to this date. I suspect it might have been less so during the reign of the Borgia popes though. They knew good art.
