you really gotta be a fool to say tchaikovsky wasn’t gay. the man literally fired cannons in his 1812 overture, do you really think a straight man could achieve that drama? that panache? that power? grow up
this was ghostwritten by captain raymond holt.
Didn’t Ken Russel make a movie about him and the fact he was gay or bi?
Okay but Tchaikovsky was actually gay???????????? He wrote his violin concerto for a violinist he was super smitten with. Literally confirmed gay
yeah, that stuff wasn’t a secret
yup yup yup. also his symphony no. 6 (the “pathetique”) is regarded as a gay classic (and was used in a scene in the film adaptation of EM Forster’s “Maurice” for its significance to the audience like. it’s …not only was Tschaikovsky literally confirmed gay but he has achieved Status as a Symbolic Legendary Gay and thus his music is as well)
This is why it was a joke in The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes. Madame Petrova is trying to find a genius to impregnate her:
Nikolai Rogozhin: …Then we considered Tchaikovsky.
Holmes: Oh, you couldn’t go wrong with Tchaikovsky.
Nikolai Rogozhin: We could, and we did. It was catastrophe.
Holmes: Why?
Nikolai Rogozhin: You don’t know? Because Tchaikovsky, how shall I put it? Women not his glass of tea.
