Who knew? Although it does make sense, right? Sexual freedom means sexual freedom. The new documentary Hugh Hefner: Playboy, Activist and Rebel says that Hefner has been fighting the good LGBT rights fight since the 50s:
In 1955, shortly after founding the magazine, Hefner published a short sci-fi story, The Crooked Man, by Charles Beaumont, in which homosexuality was the norm and heterosexuals were persecuted.
In response to the flood of angry letters he received, he wrote: “If it was wrong to persecute heterosexuals in a homosexual society, then the reverse was wrong too.”
. . . He has continued to support gay marriage, recently telling The Daily Beast: “Without question, love in its various permutations is what we need more of in this world.
“The idea that the concept of marriage will be sullied by same-sex marriage is ridiculous. Heterosexuals haven’t been doing that well at it on their own.”
Hefner, apparently, also had one or two of his own gay experiences. Nice.
