    And here we go on the Dull merry go round <laugh>

    The Victorians were in no way accepting of homosexuality, ffs! Wilde got 2 years hard Labour for a consensual homosexual relationship.

    How in any context is that accepting? Unless you mean, of course, that 50 years earlier they would have hung him?..

    The Court sentences do in deed prove plenty. Unfortunately for you, they, and the associated legal system support what I said in the reply in question.

    You're making a tedious arse of yourself over a none issue you're trying to build into something else again. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    @Bodinki did you mention the Victorian era or homosexuality? Dull is convinced you posted an inaccurate comment on the Victorians' attitude to homosexuality.

    Is that supposed to be a picture that's evidence of Victorian England having an enlightened attitude to homosexuals?
    It's Delina Rossa, a bearded lady from Paris, who appears to have lived in America as a sideshow freak.
    Not sure how that helps you, to be honest.

    Wilde did, not long after the law changed and for reasons beyond just homosexuality, so it's hardly an apt example. Plenty didn't.

    It's your buddies trying to spin this away from the point being made in the reply, which despite the claims wasn't focused on homosexuality.

    Where the victorians liberal in their attitude to drugs?

    No I believe I said that attitudes in Britain had become more liberal in the last 200 years.
    Don't think I mentioned homosexuality, not in that post, and I definitely didnt mention Victorians, specifically, although 200 years ago would put it NEARLY in that era, but not quite

    Good point.

    @Bodinki did you mention drugs as Dull then started crapping on about opium dens despite the fact that opium was legal?

    He's taking it in every hole (ironically).

    Yes, I didnt specifically mention drugs or homosexuality specifically, although those ARE the sorts of things I was referring to.
    But also religion, sex in general, marriage, the issue of race and gender identity etc.
