I read some of the things in this and other threads and feel as though we're all retreating backwards in time.

Suddenly I am reminded of an era, before anyone reading this was even born, when one of the most famous (and dare I say genius) writers, Oscar Wilde, was imprisoned simply for being gay. Imagine if, in this modern era, the police went knocking on the pop singer Morrissey's door and arrested him, sentencing him to more time than a rapist receives.

I really am beside myself, people. I'm at a loss for words and can think of nothing more to say right now other than how saddened I am by all this.
