he fancies himself an artist
"The exquisite dandy, a homosexual type adopted, and perfected, by Cocteau in Belle-Epoque Paris, turned into an object of suspicion after the events at Stonewall galvanized the gay-rights movement; it has since become rare. Nobody these days - except for the transsexual and the drag queen, those inextinguishable figures of the perverse sublime - seems to have the patience and discipline necessary for such supreme vanity."
Walrus Magazine, on Jean Cocteau.

Well, Andre Breton wasn't known to be a feminist, far from that, and hated fags (perhaps a little less than how much he hated anyone who dared to disagree with him).
Much to my surprise, almost every director from the Nouvelle Vague weren't homo-friendly either.
