 Everybody knows who Tchaikovsky is, right? Composer of a lot of songs and dances, and Christmas songs, etc. What everyone probably didn't know was that he was gay. Okay, he tried to get married twice, but that didn't work out so he almost committed suicide. Then later on he fell in love with his nephew, who was like 40 years younger than him.

He wrote a lot of letters, but his nephew hardly wrote back (Mommy, uncle Peter is scaring me!). Then he was so ashamed that he committed suicide. So he was a pedophilic, incestuous, homosexual man. Of course, in that time, homosexuality was much, much less accepted.

Just wanted to let you know. Try not to think of that every time you hear "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies".

 Certainly makes you reevaluate all those men in tights in the Nutcracker Suite, doesn't it?

For some reason, I'm not as proud as I once was for performing onstage with the Moscow Ballet for "The Nutcracker" anymore...

 This place is great!  This topic is almost as funny as the "should girls go topless" one.
This place is halarious.

Dear Forums,
This happened once before,
When I came to your door,
No reply.
I tried to telephone,
They said you were not home,
That's a lie,
No reply, No reply.

 It is kind of interesting/intriguing, though...

Then again, by many accounts, Shakespeare was gay.
And yet, his love scenes have defined the face of our society's conception of love for centuries now...

 Wasn't Julius Caesar Nephew, I forget his name, well was the first Roman Emperor gay? I swear I've heard that from somewhere.

 A LOT of men in the Classical age (Greeks/Romans) were gay. It was socially acceptable then-- even expected among the upper classes.

 Orgies........I'm spagging orgies.....

Tchaikovsky wasn't from Roman/Greek times. Of course THEY were gay, they did the Olympics nekkid!

 *laughs* That reminds me of this video we had to watch in Latin on Roman life...one of the female historians said, and I quote, "I think Caesar was a very sexy man."

The other historians went on to state that Romans of Augustus' court enjoyed having "wild, sexual orgies".

 I remember one movie we watched where the narrator was like "the men got angry when the women went away together, as they thought they were fornicating, having orgies, or *gasp* eating red meat!"

 I don't know about being expected among the people at all, calria. That is a statement that really can't be factuallu proven, but can be disproven

 Well, as in, it was normal and the majority did it.
That's what my Latin and World History teachers said, anyway.
