Let's make this birthday one to remember.

52 years old (Born on September 07, 1972)

Happy Birthday, David Levithan! May your day be as delightfully quirky and heartwarming as the unforgettable characters you've gifted us—from the charmingly romantic pages of "Boy Meets Boy" to the witty banter in "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist." Your stories have taught us that love is beautifully complicated, dictionaries can indeed define romance, and playlists are essential for life's adventures.

Congratulations on all your literary successes—especially winning hearts (and awards!) with works like "The Full Spectrum," which earned you a well-deserved Lambda Literary Award. Here's hoping this year brings even more inspiration—and perhaps another dictionary redefining birthday cake calories!
