Today in LGBTQ History May 27, 2020: Author and LGBTQ rights activist, Larry Kramer, died. He wrote the screenplay for the film Women in Love, (1969) and a novel called Faggots (1978), which was denounced within the gay community for its portrayal of shallow, promiscuous sex in the 1970s. However, he is probably most remembered for founding the Gay Men’s Health Crisis (1980), which became the world’s largest private organization assisting people with AIDS. And then cofounding the AIDS activist organization ACT UP (1987).

Dr. Fauci’s book tour inspired me to watch the film adaptation of Larry Kramer’s The Normal Heart. Christ wept. When are we going to get politics out of the way of public health and just help those who need helping?
(I guess I know the answer. Just posting out of exasperation.) #DrFauci #larrykramer

Larry Kramer: He's voicing what I feel nowadays, because we're at exactly the same point.

There is no cure and there will be no cure for the damage that the virus does in the 500 to 700 days until it is cleared. That's what we call "long covid" (10% chance per infection). Multiply that by every infection you get.

This was a rage that led to action, not a performative "I'm going to post something on the internet" rage.

We need that kind of anger.

“Being gay is a natural normal beautiful variation on being human. Period. End of subject. Therefore, any argument which says differently is an immoral supremacist one. Call it out as such ... Be outraged, offended, angry and intolerant of any discussion or any one who describes you as unequal, undeserving or unnatural for being just as you are.” - Larry Kramer

“Larry understood better than most the need to fight unceasingly and without the slightest hint of apology. Continue the work. Keep up the fight. Honor his legacy.”

#RIP Larry Kramer.
