Robert Joseph GreeneRobert Joseph Greene is a Canadian author of gay romance fiction, best known for The Gay Icon Classics of the World, a collection of gay-themed love stories from over 12 different countries. Each story represents a culture and a people. The book was isted by PFLAG Canada as a recommended book in their Books Worth Reading section. One of the short stories in the Gay Icon Classics collection is Halo's Golden Circle, a tragic love story set in ancient Judea. Author and Jewish scholar Steven Greenberg remarked that it was a beautiful story. Following the release of The Gay Icon Classics of the World II in 2012, a group of Russian students translated The Blue Door, a story from the collection about a young Russian prince who comes out as gay, and used it as a protest against the homosexual propaganda laws enacted in Saint Petersburg. In 2013, German book distributor Weltbild removed Greene's book because the distributor was owned by the 12 Catholic Diocese of Germany and they did not like LGBT material. This sparked a protest when news reporters discovered that the book distributor was selling soft porn. Greene continues for fight for human rights and supports groups like PFLAG Canada.
