As LGBTG+ history month begins, Andrew and Phil are joined by Mok O’Keefe, better known as The Gay Aristo, to learn about the life and times of one of the most scandalous men in British history.

Perhaps the best well known theatrical celebrity of his time, Wilde dominated the British and Irish literary scene but ended his days almost penniless in a cheap Parisian hotel, abandoned by his family and scorned by many of his famous friends. How much was the the victim of an age which cruelly mistreated and misunderstood gay men and women, and how much was he the author of his own misfortune?

If you're interested in educated and deeply fascinating facts about mostly unknown LGBTQ+ history then follow Mok's channels below for a world of enlightenment.
