Church court rejects homophobia-based objections to Oscar Wilde sculpture

A sculpture of Oscar Wilde could be installed in Chelsea after the Church of England’s Consistory Court rejected objections about Oscar Wilde’s homosexuality.
The sculpture, by Sir Edward Paolozzi, will be of Oscar Wilde’s head with an inscription relating to Wilde on the reverse, and the plan is to display it in Dovehouse Green on the King’s Road in Chelsea to mark the centenary of the sculptor’s birth.
The location was chosen as Paolozzi lived on Dovehouse Street
