* Another one for the Hef. A reader wrote in, asking for advice. Turns out the woman he proposed to was MTF transgender, and he was freaking out. Hefner bluntly answered "Big whoop!" and told the guy that this should not be a barrier to a happy marriage at all. ("You already fell in love with her before this") with the implication that the guy in question was being stupid about something very minor. If he wanted kids, there were plenty up for adoption, after all. ''This was back in the Seventies!'' Considering American society is ''still'' having trouble accommodating transgender people, it makes Hef's advice all the more awesome.

* Hefner also had a Sterling civil rights record. The Playboy club was the first mainstream club to feature black performers and civil rights issues were frequently featured in the magazine--its very first interview was with Music/MilesDavis. Other interview subjects included UsefulNotes/MuhammadAli, UsefulNotes/MartinLutherKingJr, and UsefulNotes/MalcolmX. He donated to the Rainbow Coalition, advocated for gay rights, and for abortion rights nearly a decade ''before'' the Roe vs. Wade decision.
