One thing continues to disturb me on the threshold to 2019: Why is it that heterosexual art can be anything at all, whereas so-called "gay art or queer art" is almost always about naked men? Can't a gay or queer artist paint a landscape, a woman's portrait, or an abstract picture and call it "gay art or queer art"? And what about other LGBTQ persons who DON'T like paintings of naked men?
In the last analysis, why even categorize art along the artist's or the patron's gender and sexual preference?
