BOTD in 1854, Oscar Fingal O'Fflahertie Wills Wilde was an Irish author, poet and playwright. After writing in different literary styles throughout the 1880s, he became one of the most popular and influential dramatists in London in the early 1890s. He was a key figure in the emerging Aestheticism movement of the late 19th century and is widely regarded as the greatest playwright of the Victorian era.

Wilde is best known for his Gothic novel The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890), his epigrams, plays and bedtime stories for children, as well as his criminal conviction in 1895 for gross indecency and for practicing homosexual acts.

We aim to keep you up to date on group changes and cancelled or rescheduled events. We hope to get it right, but sometimes we might get it wrong. We are doing everything we can to be the best we can be for you.

Thanks, once again, to Annie Parry from Derbyshire Victim Services and PC Emma McGovern, Force Hate Crime Officer at Derbyshire Constabulary, who visited your Chesterfield Centre today.

This visit was part of National Hate Crime Awareness Week and we had a useful discussion about the abuse we just put up with as LGBT+ people. And that was the point of today's session.

We don't have to put up with the abuse we might get in the street or from neighbours. There is always someone to talk to about it and if you decide to take it further, Derbyshire LGBT+ can help you report it.

Please don't suffer in silence. We're here for you. You're not alone.
