To be able to affirm The Importance of Being Earnest ironically & 
paradoxically, without thinking that one's so-called "sexual 
identity" is the "truth" of one's self, whilst seducing everyone 
democratically to the pleasure of Bunburying in an association in 
which the free development of each is the condition for the free 
development of all.
