Angels

The representation of the angel in Biblical mythological art

is male. The archangel Lucifer was so beautiful that he grew proud and led a rebellion against his creator. He was then exiled to hell.

I came across a genre of internet art [or perhaps the technical term would be digital art] called poseur art, and was amazed at the number of winged angels I discovered. This angel, in black leather is supposed to represent Lucifer.

Now I haven't found out why, but men in wings and leather are supposed to represent some sort of queer subculture. Is the artist saying that Lucifer was gay?

Whatever!
