\”The Oscar Wilde Bookshop in Greenwich Village, the oldest gay and lesbian bookstore in the country and one of two left in the city, has been sold and will not have to close, the new owner said yesterday.\”
\”The bookstore had been scheduled to close last month after its owner, Larry Lingle, said that it was losing money and that he could no longer afford to keep it open.\”
\”But news of the closing brought an outpouring of support from local and out-of-town gays and lesbians, store employees said. About two weeks ago, Deacon Maccubbin, the owner of Lambda Rising Bookstores in Washington, reached an agreement to buy the store and keep it open.\” (from The New York Times)
