William Percy
- "I am a Southerner; an Episcopal atheist; a former Republican; a capitalist; a refugee from the Ku Klux Klan, the Southern Baptists, and other members of the fundamentalist Protestant right; and a gay activist. I am also the senior professor of history and the senior pre-law advisor at UMB. I attended nine universities and have taught in nine. I have published 5 books, a dozen articles, about 100 notes (short articles), and 100 book reviews. From me you will gain a different perspective.
- On this politically correct campus I am diversity itself: a semi-expired white male of the old school."
Percy's contributions on the subject of Pederasty are voluminous and highly regarded among social historians and those interested in boys' sexual relationships with older men.
