Boulton and Park
Thomas Ernest Boulton and Frederick William Park were two Victorian cross-dressers and suspected homosexuals who appeared as defendants in a celebrated trial in London in 1871, charged "with conspiring and inciting persons to commit an unnatural offence". After the prosecution failed to establish that they had anal sex, which was then a crime, or that wearing women's clothing was in any sense a crime, both men were acquitted.
==Early lives==
Ernest Boulton (1848–1904)〔Thomas Ernest Boulton, son of Mary Ann Sarah Boulton and her husband, Thomas Alfred Boulton, was baptised on 2 February 1848 in Tottenham, Middlesex, England. He died in December 1904 in Holborn, London.〕 was the son of a stockbroker. From childhood he liked wearing female clothing, and was encouraged in his impersonations of maids and other women by his mother; he used the nickname "Stella". As a young man he met Frederick William Park and the two became friends. Park, who was of similar age, was an Articled clerk (law student) at a solicitor in London and his father was Master of a superior court. Boulton worked as a clerk at his uncle's stockbroking firm and subsequently at a bank, before leaving in 1866 or 1867.
The two men then formed a theatrical double act, touring as ''Stella Clinton'' (or ''Mrs Graham'') and ''Fanny Winifred Park'', and receiving favourable press reviews for their performances. For around two years they also frequented the West End of London in both women's and men's dress, attending theatres and social events. They were ejected from both the Alhambra Theatre and the Burlington Arcade on several occasions. On one occasion they were bound over to keep the peace after being mistaken for women dressed as men.〔
A third person involved in the affair was Lord Arthur Clinton, who had lived with "Stella" as husband and had exchanged love letters with Stella.〔Pearsall (1971) 461-8〕〔Cocks (2003) 105〕〔Laurence Senelick, "The changing room: sex, drag and theatre", ''Gender in performance'', Routledge, 2000, ISBN 0-415-15986-5, p.303〕
