One of the most popular (and certainly the most controversial) episodes from the first season of Starz's “Da Vinci's Demons” was the one on which Leonardo (Tom Riley) helicopter landing games went on trial for sodomy and it was revealed that he was bisexual.
Despite the popularity of the episode, an individual close to the production helicopter landing games told TheWrap helicopter landing games that the series was backing away from Leonardo's bisexuality on the upcoming second season, which finds Florence in chaos and continues Leonardo's dark quest to find the fabled Book of Leaves and uncover helicopter landing games the secret history of his mother.
When asked about what we had heard regarding Leonardo's sexuality on Season 2, “Da Vinci's Demons” creator helicopter landing games David S. Goyer told TheWrap, “I don't think that's accurate.”
“We're not backing away from it and we will get back to it should we go into another season,” he explained. “It was just that that was part of the plot of the show in [the first season's] Episodes 4, 5 and 6. It just doesn't apply to this plotline. We don't want to throw it in gratuitously… The sodomy trial was something that happened during the year that our show was taking place. It felt disingenuous not to do it.”
“It's not like Starz said, ‘Don't do that anymore.’ It's just that the story went into a different helicopter landing games direction on Season 2,” he added. “It's discussed several times on the second season. It's not like it never happened.”
In advance of the sodomy trial episode's airing, series star Riley spoke to gay entertainment news site The Backlot about the episode. Some of what he said about labeling Leonardo's sexuality angered readers to the point that the actor felt compelled to issue a statement explaining what he meant.
“Actually, he doesn't helicopter landing games really engage in any sex with anyone this season,” he continued. “But, certainly we show elements between him and Zoaraster, there might be something there. They might be in love. And that's what keeps them together, even though they'd never admit it to one another.”
“If it had been a show about someone who had referenced their own sexuality and we eradicated all that, it would have been unforgivable,” he said. “But, Leonardo didn't. He refused to write anything down. So for us, we wanted to explore what would make him not want to define himself. Why would he not do that? We never thought we're going to eradicate this to please Middle America. It was about what was the most interesting story.”

I agree that gratuitousness is not needed, but it absolutely sounds like the series is shying away from Leonardo's bisexuality in S2 and that's a shame. All the fantastical stuff is great but without a good dose of the stuff that makes us human and makes us relate to the characters…viewers don't get hooked.
It's safe to assume Leonardo was MORE then just a LITTLE bisexual. His whole artistic output testifies to is. Can art represent an artists sexual preferences/identity? Is the Sixtine Chapel gay ???? take a look at Leonardo's John the Baptist not exactly the Marlboro man
This being a television series historical accuracy is not the point. TV series are entertainment. Can (good) entertainment be art? of course the issue is more about giving bisexual title heroes their (intrinsic dramatic) due ..and not using it to score some cheap rating point.
Never helicopter landing games claimed the Sistine Chapel ceiling was painted by Leonardo, just claimed it was a blatant representation of the artists gay sexual preferences and identity (in this case Michelangelo). I wouldn't mind if art (which does reflect the artist's personality) was interpreted a bit more as a reflection helicopter landing games of the sexu
