Brân

Brân the Blessed (Welsh: Bendigeidfran or Brân Fendigaidd, literally "Blessed Raven") is a character in Welsh mythology.

Cassell's Encylopedia of queer myth, symbol and spirit says "According to Robert Graves, he may have been worshipped by a homosexual priesthood." However Graves's actual words do not support this claim. Graves mentions some "dog priests" in the eastern Mediterranean who indulged in "sodomitical frenzies" and goes on to say "Evidently Amathaon had seduced some priest of Bran – whether it was a homosexual priesthood I do not pretend to know."
