The Mad Gay King

When Richard Hornig, a stable master with a secret, arrives at the court of King Ludwig II, the young monarch’s most decadent obsessions are ignited—placing the future of his kingdom, his legacy, and even his sanity at the edge of a dangerous precipice.

Based on true events, The Mad Gay King is a homoerotic retelling of the life and love of King Ludwig II of Bavaria, an infamous 19th century monarch who funded the operas of Richard Wagner, built a flight of fairy tale castles, and was ultimately deposed by his conservative government on the grounds of homosexual insanity.
