Ian Campbell Dunn (1 May 1943 – 10 March 1998) was a Scottish gay rights and pro-paedophilia campaigner.
Dunn also worked as the editor of Gay Scotland magazine[2] and co-founded the Paedophile Information Exchange.
[3][4] In January 1969, Dunn founded the Scottish Minorities Group, holding its inaugural meeting in his parents' house in Glasgow.
Dunn took a leading role in legalising gay sex in Scotland, and along with two other activists he took the case to the European Court of Human Rights.
He was a local council candidate for Labour, but was dropped by the party when his paedophile activism was exposed in the media.
[7] Dunn agreed for his home in Edinburgh to be used as a contact address for paedophile theoretical journal named Minor Problems,[1][7] which had been expelled from its previous mailing facility.
"[1] In January 2007 after it emerged that Dunn, after whom the Ian Dunn Memorial Award was named, had been a founder member of PIE, lesbian Scottish Liberal Democrat politician Margaret Smith threatened to return her 2004 award unless it was renamed.
Bisexual Scottish Greens MSP Patrick Harvie, the 2003 recipient of the award, also suggested it should be renamed.
I reiterate my view that sexual relations with children are despicable and always wrong, even if other people document societies where these relationships are acceptable and deemed positive.
[4] A young man at the funeral claimed to have been raped by Dunn when he was 15 years old and stated he was attending "to make sure he was dead".
The display was later removed when the library was informed of Dunn's paedophile rights work by The Times newspaper.
