THE love letter, written in March 1893, begins with the words ''My darling Pretty''.
But it is the signature that links the Mardi Gras parade this weekend with the most celebrated gay legal case in history - the trials of Oscar Wilde.
''Goodbye now my dear darling beautiful Maurice; I send you all my love and millions of kisses all over your beautiful body. I am your loving boy-wife, Bosie.''

Oscar Wilde was a woopsie?
Surely not big, bearded, bonking, butch Oscar. The terror of the ladies. 114 illegitimate children, world heavyweight boxing champion and author of the best-selling pamphlet "Why I Like To Do It With Girls"...

Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?

Have you seen the movie "Wilde" with Stephen Fry in the lead role?
I'm surprise the man had the strength to raise his pen, the amount of bumming he was doing!
