Homosexuality

[change source]

I removed the following sentence from the part about his marriage: "Tchaikovsky was not interested in women and only married to try to stop people gossiping about the fact that he was gay (homosexual)." While Tchaikovsky is generally accepted to have been gay, when looking to find a citation for this being the direct reason for him leaving his wife, I could not find that this was definitively the answer. If anybody is more familiar with the subject than I am or has a good source, perhaps we could reinsert it or reword it. Kansan (talk) 19:58, 25 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

This article is rather badly written. It's sometimes feels like a badly edited translation. There are frequent bad, rather childish, choices of phrases. Khasab (talk) 17:23, 7 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
