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.
