  • Tennessee "MC Tennie" Williams, rival of Mark Twain and Oscar Wilde, was possibly one of the best gay playwrights born on Earth, second to Oscar Wilde. Born in 1911 in Columbus, Mississippi, he would occasionally write poetry about his gay lover, Frank Merlo. Some say he did that to get attention for some reason, yet no one did care. After years of writing he gave up poetry, and instead pursued his new passion; The invention of the fruit bat. Rumor has it he died while choking on a Pepsi bottle cap. He wrote many plays that revolved around him.
