Oscar Wilde, the toast of the town, the famous playwright and humorist, whose boyfriend was a member of the aristocracy did not escape hard time in prison, and had premature death due to the horrible conditions he suffered. His status and class and connection to the aristocracy did him no good; it could’ve actually made his situation worse and therefore given a harsh sentence. This was in England. he liked his rent boys and he liked to watch, but he was no member of the working class.
It wasn't just working class gay men who bore the brunt of exposure in public and criminally sanctioned. The poorer were also much more likely to receive savage corporal punishment in schools. Much more likely to be incarceration in institutions. Of course, working class women suffered the most in Ireland of 1922- 1992. Independent Irish governments continued to impose English victorian morality.
