Oscar Wilde is Gay???
Whatever props those are, I do not know.
Back in high school, my Literature class was reading Oscar Wilde’s “The Importance of Being Earnest”, in class.
A classmate asked, “What — are these guys gay?” The teacher shook her head, “No, they’re straight.”
I said, “The writer’s gay.”
The classmate said, “Really?”, and the teacher answered “Well, yeah, he was. But the characters … they’re straight.”
Though… not in all productions of the play. If I were prescient enough of how the gay adorers of Oscar Wilde occasionally change the focus of the play when performing the thing, I would have said right then “Not in all productions of the play.” (Though someone in the class would’ve then accused me of being gay…)
What I liked, though, was the biography in this Literature textbook. His flamboyance got him into legal trouble? What does that mean?
Never mind. I should stick to the more strongly heterosexual bible. Jesus Christ surrounded by 13 men, one who wants to kill him and the other 12 who want to wash his feet…
