They group together for more than just safety. People have stronger emotions than animals do. They are able to recognize humor and appreciate beauty; they are self-conscious…

Following a young man’s journey through seduction, moral corruption, and eventual demise, Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray is considered to be one of the best known homoerotic novels ever written.
