St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Missouri, December 4, 1880

The man offering this sage advice, Henry Labouchere, might be better known for helping bring to pass the Labouchere Amendment, which made any homosexual acts or behaviour (not just sodomy, as previously, and which had to be actually proven) illegal in Britain and much easier to prosecute. Oscar Wilde was prosecuted in large part due to the passage and Alan Turing’s hormone therapy (chemical castration) was his punishment for violating the Labouchere Amendment.
