To be fair, they do show him in relationships with men. But they warp history by inventing a central heterosexual relationship and featuring it as if it were what really mattered in his life. They could have portrayed some of the friendships he maintained with powerful women, including some of the Medici, and wouldn’t that have been interesting? But instead they invented a sexual relationship all historians say is total fiction. It’s really astonishing.
