| − | '''Walter Henry Breen''', (1928? 1930-1993) writer, numismatist and [[homosexual activist]]. A hero of the [[LGBT]] movement, he is regarded as a [[gay icon]] and celebrity. His book ''Greek Love,'' published in 1964 under the pseudonym J. Z. Eglinton, advocated and glorified homosexual relations between men and boys. Breen objected to the "adultification" of homosexuality in 20th-century definitions and maintained (correctly) that historically, homosexual relations had always been between a man and a much younger boy. Though married to [[Marion Zimmer Bradley]] he was a lifelong [[pedophile]] who raped both of his own children, a son and a daughter, the latter when she was aged five. He also raped, assaulted and molested many other children, mainly boys. Breen used drugs and money to obtain children, and in one case tried to adopt one of his victims. | + | '''Walter Henry Breen''', (1928? 1930-1993) writer, numismatist and [[homosexual activist]].
