Delon populated the imagination of so many gays, of so many sexually confused boys, that we need to highlight this queer icon.
Alain Delon died at the age of 88 on Sunday, the 18th, at his home in Douchy, France. The news was announced in a statement from his family. “Alain Fabien, Anouchka, Anthony, as well as (his dog) Loubo, are deeply saddened to announce the passing of their father. He passed away peacefully at his home in Douchy, surrounded by his three children and his family. His family asks that you respect his privacy at this extremely painful time of mourning,” wrote Alain Delon’s children.
At a time when the term LGBTQIA+ did not exist, when being homosexual was considered a “sin”, against the law and a reason to die, Delon populated the imagination of many gays, of so many sexually confused boys (due to lack of information), that we need to highlight this wonderful boy. One of his coolest and most memorable performances was in the classic “The Leopard”, where he was paired with the goddess Claudia Cardinale – an icon for trans artists of the time, inspiration for many personalities.
