S1E10: In 1895 the literary genius Oscar Wilde was confronted and publicly antagonized by the brutish John Sholto Douglas, 9th Marquess of Queensberry - the father of Oscar's lover Alfred Bruce "Bosie" Douglas. When Oscar filed a case of libel against the Marquess, it would start a domino effect that lead to his downfall and eventual death. In this special two hour episode for Pride Month, learn how these and other related events affected their lives, their art, their families, and even took down the Prime Minister.
