DRAGON AGE INQUISN'S DORIAN CHARACTER IS "LEGIMATELY GAY," BWARE SAYS
Dorian Gray is not about homosexualy.
(I say same-sex stead of homosexual as is hard to tell whether some characters may be gay or bisexual.) This is important bee may mean that Dorian Gray is a better ditor of how 19th century society viewed homosexualy than Monsir Ven was of how 19th century society viewed transgenr inti. To put more simply, Dorian Gray is different than Monsir Ven bee Dorian Gray is an si job; was wrten by a gay thor, for a gay dience.
Many fans of LGBT lerature will already know that Osr Wil was gay, and that he went to prison for two years after the Marqus of Queensbury (the father of Wil’s lover) proved his claim that Wil was gay was not crimal libel, but rather statg a fact. Acrdg to Profsor Alexanr Grste his say on Wil’s mise, Wil’s lawyers ially believed “that the only evince agast Wil were some passag The Portra of Dorian Gray.” This seems to prove that, as Wil says Dorian Gray “It is not [the subject] who is revealed by the pater; is rather the pater who, on the lored nvas, reveals himself.” It would seem that Dorian Gray Osr Wil reveals his own experienc as a gay man. The first time we see homosexualy the book is when Basil Howard, the pater, nfs to his iend Harry that the recent spiratn his art is due to Basil’s relatnship wh a man named Dorian Gray.

Through Harry and Dorian’s reactns to Basil’s sexualy we n see the difference between a book wrten by an thor wh the LGBT muny and one on the outsi lookg ; Wil do not feel the need to make the book about homophobia. Wil never reveals to the secret that Dorian to blackmail Alan; Dorian simply shows Alan a letter he has wrten, and tells him “You see the addrs…You know what the rult will be.” One clue we do have however is that Wil tells Dorian and Alan had an “timacy” that lasted a year and a half, durg which time Dorian and Alan were “separable.” It is possible that Dorian blackmails Alan for beg gay, and is threateng to send evince to the police or perhaps to Alan’s mother.
If Wil wrote Dorian Gray for a gay dience, he may have believed his dience would be able to fer this. The Picture of Dorian Gray do not feel the need to be about homosexualy, same-sex relatnships, or homophobia.
