It is remarkable that Oscar Wilde has become a symbol of oppression to gay people, his works are acclaimed etc etc. His treatment is an example of the wicked behaviour of Victorian authority in the old days. Whereas Jonathan King, accused of precisely the same activities, is a pervert rightly imprisoned. How does this make any kind of moral sense? Wilde liked lads and did naughty things with them. Hero. King liked lads and did naughty things with them. Hang the paedophile!!!
