Wilde was married to Constance Lloyd, the daughter of a counsel man to the Queen of England. They married in 1884 in London. Before this time, Wilde’s writings had been rather supportive of homosexuality. It turns out that Wilde was a gay man himself. He was actually arrested for being a homosexual in 1895.
