Oxfam Fun
I was in an Oxfams in a relatively middle class area of Sheffield with my bosses wife. We were looking at the kids books, and she pulled out one by Oscar Wilde.
"Why don't you get this one?" She asked
"I would never let my children read a book written by a convicted homosexual" was my reply.
The shop went very quiet, and the bosses wife walked out.

Ah, well, yes, but...
Wilde's The Happy Prince and Other Stories - his most famous children's work - was published in 1888, seven years before he was convicted of homosexuality.
So you're not factually correct AICMFP
