Halifax man and ‘trailblazer’ admired for love of wearing high heels has died at 86
HALIFAX – Harold Anderson, a Halifax man known and admired for the elegant stilettos he wore on his jaunts around the city, has died at the age of 86.
His longtime friend Lisa Cochrane says the fashion-lover who challenged gender norms will be remembered for his brave self-expression and style.
“He really didn’t like the term cross-dresser. He didn’t like the labels that were put on people. He’d say: ‘women wear pants all the time, why aren’t they called cross-dressers?’”
