In Neil McKenna's book, the secret life of oscar Wilde, I think there is the suggestion that Wilde felt a great deal of pride in his sexuality when he eventually faced up to it. up until the business with Douglas's dad (the monumental repercussions of which would have surprised everybody) Oscar lived his gay life with a great deal openess and frankness.

So maybe a gay pride march wouldn't have been so far off the mark.

I love reading about the Wilde case, does anybody know any good sites? chatrooms devoted to it? Or am I sole addict.

Back to King. I hope he can rebuild his life. He is an intelligent man and it shouldn't too bad for a hedgehopper anonymous. I wish I was just as clever at marketing my songs as he was with his stuff.
