It took a gay Irishmen's point of view of straight men, to make me weary of relationships with men. Even in 19th century Europe Oscar Wilde, was like nope.

Wait, what man in that book was straight? Basil and Henry both seemed pretty into Dorian, and Dorian also seemed pretty into Dorian.

Sorry lol. Just commenting on the author, who's Oscar Wilde. He's Irish and was gay ( he went on to have 2 sons and get married but I digress), it's just interesting to see his observation of society through his lens as a closeted queer man, particularly in the 19th century . I,100% believe Basil is into Damian, and Lord Henry, not really (I'm a bit sceptical).
