<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KLJ, post: 98646, member: 1910&quot;]According to Wikipedia, &quot;Walter Breen spent considerable time compiling information on the history of homosexuality, particularly pederasty. ... His research, unprecedented in its extensive treatment of the history of homosexuality, formed the basis for his 1964 book <i>Greek Love</i>, which he published under the pseudonym &#039;J.Z. Eglinton.&#039;&nbsp; ... Breen&#039;s pederasty was an open secret in both science fiction and numismatic circles; in the sixties he was banned for life from attending World Con sci-fi festivals due to his behavior with children, a controversy which became known as the &#039;Breendoggle&#039; and resonates in that community to this day&quot; <i>KLJ&#039;s note - Does anyone know if a numismatic organization ever banned him from meetings for similar reasons?</i> Wikipedia continues, &quot;Breen was first arrested in the 1950s for &#039;lewd behavior,&#039; exposing himself to young boys under a boardwalk in Atlantic City; in 1991 he was charged with eight felony counts of child molestation involving a thirteen-year-old boy, the son of science-fiction writer Stephen Goldin (who has since gone public).&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>It does say that he died in jail of liver cancer in 1993.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I was aware of most of that.&nbsp; What I didn&#039;t know was that in 1980, Breen and his ex-wife were ordained in the Holy Apostolic-Catholic Church of the East (Chaldean-Syrian) priesthood by Metropolitan-Archbishop Mikhail Itkin, a well-known gay clergyman.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
