Who are these guys? Are we just assuming guy friends from the past are gay for hugging? Isn’t that kinda toxic and homophobic?

The History Channel: “Michelangelo was very dedicated to some of his students, he spent a lot of time with one male student in particular.”

Me, as a preteen: “Ya huh.”

Historians: they were very good friends, so good even sleeping in the same bed(as friends) for their whole lives.

That’s part of what makes it so fantastic! 🙏
