Gay lover edit
Richard Ackland, writing as Gadfly in The Saturday Paper of 7 October 2017 ("Otto mated responses"), alleges that Bray was the gay lover of Christopher Pearson (journalist). Is this otherwise public knowledge? -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 10:06, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
It seems so. Here is Michael Kirby's statement the Pearson himself claimed to have been Bray's lover. Bray himself was very reticent about revealing details of his private life.
This gives us a citation for that claim (at footnote 41, p. 546):
- Jane Cadzow, ‘The Wayward Ways of Christopher Pearson’, Good Weekend (Victoria), 30 March 1996, 27–31.
Pearson also made the claim in his 1996 essay "The ambiguous business of coming out" (see here). -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 21:37, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
