+=== Warren Johansson ===
+
+Warren Johansson was born in 1934, in Philadelphia, as Philip Joseph Wallfield, to a Jewish family. Later he changed his name to the Nordic "Warren Johansson," apparently to express the horror he had developed of Jewish homophobia. His first venture into gay scholarship was to co-author Greek Love (1964) with the numismatist (and, much later, the convicted paedophile) Walter Breen<ref>Breen was first arrested in the 1950s for "lewd behavior", exposing himself to young boys under a boardwalk in Atlantic City. For a while, he was a leading member of NAMBLA. He was arrested on child molestation charges in 1990, and offered a plea bargain, which resulted in three years' probation. In 1991 he was charged with eight felony counts of child molestation involving a 13-year-old boy, the stepson of science fiction writer Stephen Goldin</ref>.

+Johansson believed that there was copious and compelling evidence that the Roman Catholic Church (against the assertions of John Boswell) maliciously persecuted homosexuals from the earliest times, impeded at times by only its own disorganisation, while maintaining double standards at every level within the church. Much of the content of the encyclopedia reflects this view.
