Unfortunately, this soon led to the manufacturing of fakes and so the joy of that special form of discovery came to an end. My interest in archeology also offered me an unexpected sexual bonus in Turkey where there are literally hundreds of sites, more or less integrated into the cities nearby.
I discovered that such historic places also served the same function that a city park or woodland area did for gay men all over Europe or North America! What could be more natural and seductive? In addition, there was always some pillar or enclosure to help provide the necessary privacy if such same sex desires wished to progress to fulfill ment. Most of this contact happened in Muslim countries and in Italy.
For this queen, playing the cruising game in such natural outdoor settings took the prize! Sometimes these adventures even happened on the way to a site, as it did when I first visited Sardis in Turkey. As for overt homosexual content on-site, there was very little. Within the past three decades, a handful of scholars have contributed significantly to our understanding of many of these archeological artifacts as well as to the theorizing about the sexual lives of ancient cultures.

Yet I sense that we still have far to go in these research efforts. A major element in the story — the gay aspect — is missing and is likely to remain so, as there are still very few written references to the gay sexual proclivities within the ancient world. It is certainly easier to imagine the purging of ancient texts of a sexuality which might have run counter to social prudery. The majority of Greek and Roman translations at least into English were done in the late 19th and early 20th Century. I think it is now generally accepted that most of the ancient literature that does survive today would benefit from newer, fresher translations accomplished by scholars working without the bias of their own cultural or religious-based conditioning.
Some of the reworking of old texts did occur within the same time frame mentioned above, especially for the better known works. However, nowadays there are few people knowledgeable enough to be capable of such a task, not to mention the fact that there is little or no money to be made in doing so.
About this book
Museums contain the best preserved artistic works but often seem to go out of their way to make any gay imagery difficult to see or offer little information on the pertinent pieces. One wonders what treasures are being deliberately kept out of sight, sheltered in large storage rooms because of institutionalized homophobia.
The gay aspect of this website project only developed in earnest over the past two years, so I make no claim about thoroughness. Hopefully, looking through these galleries will be as educational for the viewer as my visits to these original sites and museums were for me. Yes, the choices are largely from a subjective viewpoint as this website is an accurate reflection of my interests, values and aesthetics. My many travels have shown me that ancient depictions of gay sexuality can still be found in dozens, if not hundreds of museums.
As always, such a gay presence is often just under the radar, waiting for someone who is informed and observant to pick up on it. During the past 40 years I have probably visited and revisited several hundred archeological sites in Africa, Asia, Europe, and Central and South America. This interest grew out of my attempt to understand the evolution of human society, especially how we have related to our sexual nature.
Logically this fit into my effort to understand both my own nature as well as the societies I came in contact with. It provided the first intellectual reinforcement for my growing homosexual attractions and emotions. They are the backbone of my intellectual framework, and I go back to them more than any other literature. A story from the past comes to mind. Once in Turkey — probably my fourth or fifth time there since I still traveled largely by hitchhiking.
Perhaps it was the late 70s or very early 80s. Vogue magazine ran a multiple-page feature on the wedding in its February issue. Just before his own wedding, Manson criticized Britney Spears' wedding to Kevin Federline, in which they celebrated by wearing personalized tracksuits: "If you're going to do something like getting married, it should have a sense of celebration to it.
It should be grand and not in tracksuits! As of January 30, Manson and Dita Von Teese reportedly split after her filing for divorce due to "irreconcilable differences" according to Von Teese. Manson's alcohol abuse and distant behaviour have also been cited as cause for the split. It has also been claimed that Manson was not aware of Von Teese's filing for divorce and moving out of their home at the time that the story was published, conceivably due to his reported stay in Paris, France.
Von Teese reportedly took their two cats and two dachshunds, Greta and Eva, with her when she left. Manson fought for custody of the two cats, but only received one of them. Evan Rachel Wood attended the grand opening of Manson's new Celebritarian Corporation Gallery of Fine Art and among the most notable artworks were two portraits of Evan.

He not only produced most of the band's early recordings but also played guitar on the song "My Cat" and helped name the band. Manson later wrote the liner notes for the band's album Humid Teenage Mediocrity, a collection of early Jack Off Jill recordings. In early , after being instructed by his new label, Interscope Records, not to play any local shows, Manson formed Mrs. Scabtree was a side project between he and newly hired Jeordie White.
Manson played drums, while White dressed as a black woman shared vocal duties with then girlfriend Jessicka from Jack Off Jill who wore a blonde wig.

Scabtree only played two shows in South Florida. Manson has helped or provided full scores for several major motion pictures, although several of his pieces have been cut, and his name dropped from the credits. This album is distinguished for being the only one released on Manson's vanity label Posthuman Records.
Manson made a cameo appearance as a doctor in the Murderdolls' music video "Dead in Hollywood", and also appears in the Nine Inch Nails music video "Starfuckers, Inc. His first appearance in a film was in the role of a pornographic actor in David Lynch's Lost Highway, in He also had a minor role in former love interest Rose McGowan's film Jawbreaker and a supporting role in 's Party Monster, which is based on the events leading up to and the murder of Angel Melendez by the infamous Michael Alig of club kid fame, where Manson portrayed a psychotic drag queen named Christina.
His most talked-about film cameo was in the Michael Moore political documentary Bowling for Columbine discussing the motivations of the perpetrators and allegations that his music was somehow a factor.

He played himself, in animated form, on an episode of the television series Clone High, in which he sang a song about nutrition and the food pyramid. His music is frequently featured on the show C. The character on the show, Greg Sanders, is a big fan of Manson and the actor who plays him, Eric Szmanda, is a personal friend of Manson's. Manson was featured in the film The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things, and was set to appear in Abelcain, directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky, and Living Neon Dreams in , although both of these projects are still unreleased as of He will also be seen as a bartender in an upcoming vampire movie starring Lucy Liu called Rise and possibly has pending roles in Abelcain, RISE and other projects.
Manson has produced 23 music videos, most of which have gone beyond the scope of a normal performance video and been well received by critics for their imagery and direction. Manson stated in June that he saw himself "as more a student of film than of music". In July , Manson told Rolling Stone that he was shifting his focus from music to filmmaking - "I just don't think the world is worth putting music into right now.
I no longer want to make art that other people--particularly record companies--are turning into a product. I just want to make art. By Manson was working on his directorial debut, Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll, but has since put the project off until November to focus on recording Marilyn Manson's sixth studio album, Eat Me, Drink Me, followed by a world tour.
The film is said to feature special effects using a magician rather than computer-generated imagery. From the beginning Manson has been a recreational painter, the oldest of his surviving pieces dating back to , but it was after his Grey period that Manson began his career as a watercolour painter. In he made five-minute concept pieces and sold them to drug dealers with their knowledge that they would accumulate in value over time.
Gradually Manson became more drawn to watercolors as an art form in itself, and instead of trading them, kept them and continued to paint at a proficient rate. The reaction to his paintings was largely positive with one critic comparing them to Egon Schele's pieces and describing them as heartfelt and sincerely painted, and Art in America went as far as to liken them to the works of a " psychiatric patient given materials to use as therapy ".
Others however saw less merit in the works stating that the value was in the celebrity. Again the reception to the works could be described as mixed but was largely in favour of the artist. Manson opened his own an art gallery, The Celebritarian Corporation Gallery of Fine Art, on October 31, in Los Angeles for which his third exhibition by invitation or appointment only after the opening night was the inaugural show. A coffee table art book is in the works, initially titled The Death of Art. The last given title was Quintif. It will be published by the makers of Flaunt magazine.

The price of Manson's works has been a somewhat controversial point for fans and critics alike, with most fans realistically unable to afford the paintings save for fine art editions and lithographs. Manson's prices though are realistic and reasonable considering the long-term value at a time when prices for contemporary art have never been higher. Manson provided the voice of the alien Edgar in the first-person shooter video game Area 51, which also featured David Duchovny.
Marilyn Manson also appears as himself as a playable character in the video game Celebrity Deathmatch. Allegedly, the artist posed nude for photos prior to his rise to fame. The pictures appeared in the March issue of Honcho. One of Manson's high-profile relationships, the defunct friendship with Trent Reznor, has been marked with mutual bitterness and perhaps vendetta. This started in the mids, when Manson was due to make a track that would appear on the soundtrack to David Lynch's Lost Highway, but instead Reznor was the one who wrote a song, "The Perfect Drug", for the film.
In , it seemed the two artists had patched their differences, as Manson made an appearance in the video for the Nine Inch Nails song "Starfuckers, Inc. In , Reznor was asked whether he had plans to do any covers; he sarcastically replied, "I was really hoping to do something unique and pertinent - like do an exact copy of "Personal Jesus" - but it was already taken. In a interview, Manson said Reznor's Nothing Records had lost the master recordings of Manson's first three albums. He implied it was Reznor's intention, "Now that Nothing Records doesn't exist, I think there's only one of two people responsible for that.
Out of those two people, there's only one that really has an opinion of me that is voiced very often. In May Twiggy Ramirez left the band, citing differences in perspective on the future of the band. During this time, Manson claimed in interviews that he and Ramirez were still close friends, while Ramirez maintained that he rarely spoke to Manson.
In an interview in February of Twiggy stated he was willing to record an album with Marilyn Manson if the right conditions were met. In Autumn , Manson and Ramirez were photographed together at numerous parties in Los Angeles, in amicable poses. In January it was announced that Ramirez had reunited with the band as live bassist for the last leg of the Rape of the World tour as well as co-writer of the band's seventh studio album. In an interview with The Heirophant on January 11, , Manson revealed that the reconciliation with Ramirez was not as abrupt as it initially seemed, and that the two had been occasionally communicating with each other since speaking at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, California prior to the Winter European leg of the Rape of the World tour.
John 5's reasons for leaving Marilyn Manson were cited as being mutual, despite the mysterious nature of his sudden firing by Manson's manager in John was quoted at the time as saying about the incident, "I don't know. I was nothing but nice to him," he continued. Maybe, just maybe, it had something to do with the fact that I don't drink or do drugs, and he's not like that at all. Maybe he held that against me. I don't know.
