This article is really interesting and makes a good point. I always read the 'Desdamona' scene a little differently. After he finishes, both the play and musical scripts say that he destroys the picture. I think it's symbolic of the photo (or the woman in it) being what he needs any more, and maybe coming to terms with his sexuality. Because the flirtation and attraction to Ernst is present from the first scene (Huddle over Homer, maybe do a little Achilles and Patrocles...). This is just how I read the scene (straight girl POV, tbh)
