Saint Saens was gay?

True or False?

The masterpiece tell the performer what to do, and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the cocomposer what he ought to have composed.

Not burned in hell but moved to a different forum.

Saint-Saens was one of the greatest universal geniuses in History.

So was Da Vinci and he was gay.

Maybe the poster got inspired by this.

Very much so. Although he liked to charm the ladies (as if he'd ever marry any of them some day).

I though Da Vinci was disgusted by sex after trying it once with a girl. He never had any sex again, at least that is what I heard. He also didn't have any close relationships with any females.

But he did have a friend/partner/student. I guess that equals being gay these days. Though he just as wel makes the secular celibates lists.
