GAY F. BAT-BMGARDNER
It’s a story worth reuntg as a remr of the rrosive homophobia that vastated the private life and stroyed the public reer of this brilliant artist. I have always been terted gay history and ially thought Osr Wil would be the lead character whatever this new work was gog to be. Wil’s trial and imprisonment for “gross cency” was one of the semal events of the late 19th century, a stark example of the persecutn and crimalizatn of gay men that lasted to the 1960s.
