SoCal SoCon -=> Not even men like Oscar Wilde?

G.Legman tells the story of Frank Harris berating Wilde regarding his homosexuality (illegal at the time in Great Britan). Having convinced Wilde to restrain his very public behavior, Harris thought all was well.

Well, that is, until Harris walked in on Wilde one day when he, Wilde, had a young cockney lad bent over his desk.

“You sod,” quoth Harris, “I thought you were going to turn over a new leaf!”

“I am,” responded Wilde, “can’t you see I am at the bottom of the page now?”

Sorry, but mentioning Wilde reminded me of that story...
