Im talkin' about the author who wrote The Picture Of Dorian Gray and stuff :D
Oscar Wilder (the playwright) had an affair with the son of the Marquis of Queensbury (yeas, him of boxing rules) - and as a result the first documented case of "Queer-Bashing" took place

no, honestly definitely the son of the Marquis of Queensbury
Oscar ended up in Reading Gaol, and then exiled to France, where he was married and i think he died in exile

In 1891, Wilde met Lord Alfred ‘Bosie’ Douglas, the third son of the Marquis of Queensbury, and the two soon became lovers. The Marquis of Queensbury strongly disapproved of their relationship, and publicly accused Wilde of homosexuality, leading to his imprisonment in 1895. His time in gaol inspired two works, The Ballad of Reading Gaol (1898), and De Profundis which was not published until after his death. Wilde spent the final two years of his life travelling in Europe, staying with various friends and publishing articles in newspapers. He contracted meningitis in 1900, and died in a Parisian hotel on 30 November
