Moira Greyland is the daughter of famous
authors Marion Zimmer Bradley and Walter Breen. She has written a memoir
about growing up in a "queer" family and suffering hideous child
abuse. In The Last Closet: The Dark Side
of Avalon, Greyland details the horror of being a
helpless child trapped in a far left fantasy world. The world constructed by
her mother, author of The Mists of Avalon, and her father, author of Greek
Love (a book literally detailing why pedophilia is fine and even good)
was a dark and frightening world. Unfortunately, though many saw how unhappy
Greyland and her siblings were, no one stepped in to stop it and, in fact,
turned a blind eye.
Greyland's description of her family's
philosophy is chilling. "All sex is always right no matter what."
This philosophy forced her to endure being raped by her father at the achingly
innocent age of four and molested by her mother throughout her childhood. Both
her parents insisted she was gay because they believed that every person is
naturally homosexual and will be homosexual if not corrupted by heterosexual
experiences. Through the exposure to two gay parents and relatives and their
friends, Greyland developed a theory about homosexuality that is very
unpopular.
"It is my belief that homosexuality is
a matter of IMPRINTING, in the same way that BDSM fantasies are," she
explains in the book. "To the BDSM'er, continued practice of the fantasy
is sexually exciting. To the gay person, naturally, the same. However, from
what I have seen, neither one creates healing. My mother became a lesbian
because she was raped by her father. My father was molested by a priest--and
regarded it as being the only love he had ever experienced. There are a
vanishingly few people who are exclusively gay, but far more who have
relationships with people of BOTH genders, as my parents and other relatives did."
This, of course, is not allowed to be
discussed in the age of the Gaystappo, which must be praised at all times. But
do we not owe it to the children raised in these environments to hear their
experiences? Does the #MeToo craze include the children of gays who did not
have idyllic experiences?
"What sets gay culture apart from
straight culture is the belief that early sex is good and beneficial, and the
sure knowledge (don't think for a second that they DONT KNOW) that the only way
to produce another homosexual is to provide a boy with sexual experiences
BEFORE he can be 'ruined' by attraction to a girl," she writes.
Breen and Bradley expressed these very
beliefs to Greyland often. The Mists of Avalon catapulted Bradley
into the limelight and made her very famous in fantasy and science fiction
circles. She and Breen would attend science fiction conventions like Worldcon
religiously. Breen used these conventions to hunt for children he could groom
and molest, Greyland says. This was widely known among the convention
attendees. In one particularly egregious incident, Breen molested a little girl
in public at a convention. Greyland included a letter written by Bill Donaho in
1963 about banning Breen from Worldcon.
