What would we do without gay people? (14 person items)

"Without him: The Ghost of Canterville is one of my favorite books, so no! Also: I don't really care for him but Orlando Bloom had one of his first movie appearance as a prostitute in 'Wilde' a movie about Oscar Wilde (surprise!) also featuring Jude Law as Wilde...So, without Oscar Wilde would Orlando Bloom be a famous actor? And if not, what about Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean?"
