He was a jazz pianist, saxophonist, and bandleader whose trio recorded two albums and performed across the United States. He was also a father who raised three sons.
After his death in 1989, he was publicly outed, and headlines focused on that discovery.
His legacy, though, is the life he lived on his own terms with authenticity.
Billy lived as the man he knew himself to be, building a life filled with music and family.
Today, remembering Billy Tipton means honouring his music, his family, and his place in trans history.
Happy LGBTQ+ history month of everyone! โค๏ธ๐งก๐๐๐๐
