Although the events of his life describe him otherwise, Oscar can be described as a secretive person and was never identified as a homosexual. However, Lord Alfred Douglas, who was his youthful lover, described Oscar as one of the greatest charms and that he was natural, and most of the time he uttered without fear and respect of any persons. He would exactly express what he might think in any given situation. However, it can be noted that there was no reason for someone like Oscar to self-identify as homosexual.
