'Aristocratic Vice'

Blog Last Activity 10 years ago 344 views 1 comments
<p>I have just finished reading an hilarious book about the "Cleveland Street Affair".</p>
<p>This was a major scandal in 1889 in London where a gay brothel was discovered which catered to quite an upper class clientele.</p>
<p>The funniest part of it is that homosexuality was portrayed as an 'aristocratic vice' which corrupts lower class young men lol</p>
