He was an author, a playwright, and a rabble rouser who did not suffer fools easily. RIP axiom2001 1 Quote

Members axiom2001 Posted May 27, 2020 Members Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) I was at https://daddysreviews.com earlier today and OUT had an article regarding LK's death. I didn't read it but began to remember his activism through writings, protests, film/s. May he rest in eternal peace! Edited May 27, 2020 by axiom2001 Buddy2 1 Quote

Members Buddy2 Posted May 29, 2020 Members Posted May 29, 2020 A journalist friend from Vanity Fair called Larry Kramer in late May. Apparently, it was a bit of a struggle to hold the phone. And he had not left his apartment since early May. But Mr. Kramer looked forward to his 85th birthday in June, highly praised Doctor Anthony Fouci and talked about his latest book a continuation of the gay world in United States history. He was concerned about becoming a victim to novel coronavirus. It may have been a particularly down day because he called the world evil. I believe Mr. Kramer would not be completed surprised at the obituaries were all praising and living. At least, I hope so. Great man Quote
