Winfield Joe "Wynn" Wagner, III is a retired American Independent Catholic bishop and gay romance author who self-identifies as a "purveyor of innuendo, participles, and love between men."
His biography on religion.wiki.org reads: "Wynn Wagner (born January 18, 1951) is best known as the author of Opus-CBCS, a wildly popular computer bulletin board system (BBS) from the early 1990s. Before he was a computer programmer, Wynn was a professional singer and recording artist. In the 1960s, he sang on an album that won a Grammy. In the 1970s, he was a broadcast journalist. Today, he is known as Archbishop Wynn Wagner III, an elder in the Old Catholic Church. He is the Coadjutor bishop of the North American Old Catholic Church (NAOCC) and the Regionary Bishop of the Southern Province USA, which consists of the US States Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. His church is St Mychal Judge Old Catholic Church in Dallas Texas USA. The church is named after the chaplain of the New York Fire Department. Fr Judge is called 'Victim #1' of 9/11."
His biography on librarything.com reads: "Wynn Wagner and his husband, Rick Wagner, live in Dallas. Texas doesn’t recognize their marriage, even though it was done by an ordained and licensed priest in a legitimate Old Catholic Church during a church-approved Nuptial Mass. God recognizes the marriage even if the state doesn’t. 'Texas versus God,” Wynn says. “I pick God, since Texas has unconstitutional laws that illegally restrict the free exercise of my religion.' Wynn is the author of several other books, including Vamp Camp, influential, Recovering Catholic, and A Pilgrim’s Guide to the Old Catholic Church, and others. Before that, he was a programmer who helped write the tax software used by some of the world’s largest corporations. He also wrote Opus-CBCS, a computer bulletin board system that was wildly popular in the 1980s. Opus generated millions of dollars for HIV and AIDS, back when almost nobody was helping fund research or caring for those suffering from the disease. He also wrote a short piece called “HIV: Day One” for those who just learned they have HIV. You can find links to this and all his other works at www.WynnWagner.com. Before programming and writing, Wynn was in radio as a disc jockey and newscaster in Texas and in New York City. And before that, he was a pimply-faced teenager in Fort Worth."
