Sebastian, the gay saint, wounded by arrows, is a link between pagan and cristian religion. In the middle age, under the worship of Sebastian, gay community were created everywere. The ancient secret cults at the time of roman empire, all the pagan misteries, went on living in this way. Sebastian is Baccus or Dionysus reborn. Omosexsuality is clearly seen in many paintings, of Sebastian first, but in other pictures, first Caravaggio ones.
