Since the AIDS crisis gay people have been persecuted and victimized.
This brings to mind the story of Oscar Wilde.
Oscar Wilde was a prominent playwright and author in the late 19th Century. He was prosecuted for homosexual acts and imprisoned with hard labor.
However, this is not remembered as a just punishment but as a great injustice.
And this period in history that has seen the persecution of gay people will be remembered as a similar injustice.
And those who prosecuted this injustice will be seen as hypocrites and bigots.
