Badass Birthday
On this date, 102 years ago in 1924, in New Orleans, Truman Capote was born.
Truman Capote was a novelist, screenwriter and playwright. Several of his novels, short stories and plays are considered classics. He wrote Breakfast At Tiffany's and In Cold Blood among others.
He was also openly gay at a time when it was neither safe nor desirable to be so. He never embraced the Gay Rights Movement, but just by not hiding who he was he helped a lot of other gay men and women.
He passed in 1984 at the age of 59.
He was truly a literary badass.
