Alan Bray
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alan Bray was a British historian and gay rights activist. He was born on 13 October 1948 and died on 25 November 2001. He was a Roman Catholic and had a particular interest in Christian attitudes to homosexuality. A series of Alan Bray Memorial Lectures have been instituted in his memory. British historians Michael Hunter, Miri Rubin, and Laura Gowing have co-edited the book Love, Friendship and Faith in Europe, 1300-1800 (Palgrave Macmillan, 2005), which is a collection of essays inspired by Bray's idea of finding some universal component of homosexaulity within the experiences of intimacy and friendship without "locating a discourse that identifies persons as homosexual" [1].
