Wayne R. Dynes (born August 23, 1934) is an American art historian, encyclopedist, and bibliographer.

He was an editor of the Encyclopedia of Homosexuality[1], published in 1990, which is a two-volume reference work that covers a wide range of topics related to homosexuality, with two lengthy general entries on "pederasty" and "pedophilia."

He participated in the edition of "Studies in Homosexuality", which is a series of scholarly volumes, each focusing on specific aspects of homosexuality, with volume 1 focused on ancient homosexuality and pederasty in different world areas [2] [3]

He was also on the editorial board of Paidika. However, he has subsequently expressed the view, in his blog, that because of cases of real abuse, adult-minor sexual contact should never be permitted. [4][5]
