For the life of me I can't remember his name. All I know is that we was around in the 70s, was openly gay, and died in seclusion alone in New York of AIDS (I think).

Does anyone know who it is?

I believe it might have been Quentin Crisp. That guy had balls, man. He was a sort of fey man, and his hair was always colored lavender. He was ASKING for it when he moved to NYC but he could deflect a threat in such a clever way that it left his bullies dumbfounded. He quite clearly didn't give a rat's ass what anyone thought of him, and I mean, ANYONE.I had a small biography of his at one time, and I think he was a truly brave man to come out like that the way he did. He did it hissssssss wayyyyyyy lol
