A sad day. He achieved so much for the gay community. I love his quote mentioned in The Guardian obituary that @tm_nyc posted -

Having come up in the late 1970s, he once said of his generation: "Gay fiction before that, Gore Vidal and Truman Capote, was written for straight readers. We had a gay readership in mind, and that made all the difference. We didn’t have to spell out what Fire Island was.”
