I have visited dear Oscar’s grave 10 times in Père Lachaise in Paris. A genius Irishman, gone but not forgotten here in the city of his birth in Dublin. Rip son of Ireland 🇮🇪.

That man was an absolute treasure. He truly helped shape the culture of the English-speaking peoples. And his courage and bravery in insisting on living his truth is massively inspiring. Plus, you just know he had the best chisme.
