What a life he had, RIP HefPlayboy founder Hugh Hefner has died at the age of 91, the magazine said on its official Twitter account.
Hugh Hefner published "The Crooked Man" when nobody else would. Took a lot of criticism and told the critics that if it's wrong to discriminate against a hetrosexual man in a gay world, then it's wrong to discriminate against gays in a hetrosexual world. That's in 1950. He published "Fahrenheit 451" as a serial over 3 months in 1954. Published Arthur C Clark.To what degree? Hefner was a savvy and extremely great businessman no doubt, but that's it. As for the "feminists" in that era they were the one espousing the ability to show their body, have casual sex, go on the pill, etc. Rosa Parks brought about societal change. Hefner was just a dude who picked a business most dudes would want to be in.
Hahaha - so true. Hard to top some of the adventures he has had, that's for sure.The only guy 'trading-down' by going to heaven, lol
Even basic research will explain he took on a lot of human rights stances that were radical at the time. He published minority writers when nobody else would. He promoted and supported black entertainers. He also spent a lot through his foundation defending people accused of obscenity and morality crimes.To what degree?
