[edit] The love that dare not speak its name

The love that dare not speak its name is my first contribution. It existed before, as a redirect to homosexuality. It no longer contains a direct reference to homosexuality, but such a meaning might easily be inferred from the articles Lord Alfred Douglas and Oscar Wilde. The text of the poem alone does not make me think that the other Love is homosexual alone. Oscar Wilde's response to the question begs the interpretation that the other Love is any that does not fit into a socially acceptable category. Homosexuality is (and was) not the only one.

I have seen [a talk page] that uses "the love that dare not speak its name" as a euphemism for homosexuality, and [another talk page] that may only be suggesting "unnatural love". The euphemism is clear in Robertson Davies' quote on 1970s. Perhaps some sort of reference to its use as a euphemism should be included, but I'm still wary of suggesting that 'homosexuality' is its only meaning.

Please explain why you found it necessary to delete a whole block of criticism on the TM_Net page?

The 20 December version by Zomgbratto had the criticisms and your edit on 22nd of December removed that, why? Please stop your blatant vandalism.

Please sign your edits. The criticism section is pure speculation on the part of dissatisfied TMNet customers, wikipedia isn't the place for it. If you can find something of encyclopaedic value in the removed section, then say what you think it is: if I agree, I won't delete it.SeanCollins (talk) 19:49, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
