	Gay Today: People
		ir Roger Casement (1864-1916) is one of the most doubly intriguing characters in history: A patriot to the Irish, a traitor to the English, and a footnote in the history of homosexuality and of "the war to end all wars".

		Once famous, Sir Roger Casement is hardly remembered today, save by the Irish nation he tried to serve and by gay men who recognize his as a kindred spirit who, like Oscar Wilde, suffered for "the love that dared not speak its name".
