Ten Historical Gay Couples You May
Not Know About
The historic yes vote in the Irish referendum on same-sex marriage three years ago proves that the society is getting more and more accepting and open-minded when it comes to homosexuality. In the not-so-distant past, homosexuality wasn't only frowned upon but it was even treated as a crime and prosecuted as such. Most gay couples therefore chose to keep their same-sex relationships a secret which has been uncovered only in the recent years.
Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred Douglas
It was June 1891 when Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) met the 21-year-old Oxford undergraduate and poet Lord Alfred ‘Bosie’ Douglas (1870-1945) who soon became his lover. Sixteen years Wilde’s junior, Bosie was a real inspiration for the famous Irish author and his work including The Picture of Dorian Grey. But Bosie’s father, who disapproved of their affair, started a campaign against Wilde which indirectly led to his arrest on the grounds of gross indecency. He was sentenced to two years in prison. After Wilde was released from prison, the two lovers were reunited once again. But their happiness didn’t last this time either. Their families forced them to separate, threatening to stop providing funds.
