Oscar Wilde is also gay.

LOL. He is one of my favourite writers though. All you have to do is read a play of his, and you will instantly like him (erm....like him as a writer). ;)

Read "The Importance of Being Earnest"...that is a classic example of how he mocked the people who watched his plays.

Anyway....watching a story of his life at the moment......not very pleasant for a heterosexual male to watch...

Oscar Wilde was actually bisexual. He had a wife and child aswell.

His headstone is actually quite funny. Someone has removed his genitals from statue on it.

Nope, he was definately gay.

The only reason why he got married and had kids was to shield his homosexuality....homosexuality was largely frowned upon in his day.

He eventually got found out and went to prison for two years.

He was shunted from society after that.
