Question

Did you know? Andy Warhol was openly gay from his earliest time in New York (1949). He never made a big deal of this himself — "anyone who wanted to know, knew". His studio "The Factory" was open to queer people; many of his most famous muses (Edie Sedgwick, Candy Darling) were also out. In 1968 he was shot by Valerie Solanas, which changed his work.
