In this episode, we explore how celebrated writer Oscar Wilde was imprisoned in 1895 for "gross indecency" due to his relationships with men, a charge rooted in the era's harsh anti-LGBTQ+ laws. Through Wilde's downfall, we examine the broader societal intolerance of queerness in Victorian England and his lasting legacy.
