Robert Joseph Greene (born January 11, 1973) 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 listed by PFLAG Canada as a recommended book in their "Books Worth Reading" section.〔(Pflag Canada Book Recommendations )〕 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". ==Writing career== ''Letters From Camp Rehoboth'' published an excerpt from "The Journey and the Jewels" in 2006. The ''Watermark'', a weekly LGBT publication in Florida, gave kudos in their story which honored the writer. 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, Greene publicly stated that he had received death threats from readers in Russia over the story.〔("Gay B.C. children's author says he's received threats from Russia" ). CTV News, August 4, 2013.〕 Greene's ''This High School Has Closets'' was a longlisted nominee for the Lambda Literary Awards in the 2012 young adult novels category. In January 2014, Greene embarked on a lobbying campaign among ornithologists to get Merriam-Websters Dictionary to have a "Jabber of Jays" as an official term under bird groups. In April 2015, Greene was a finalist for the 2015 Vancouver Pride Legacy Turquoise Award for the Arts. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robert Joseph Greene」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
