	Larry Kramer Criticism
		Kramer is best known for his controversial 1985 drama, The Normal Heart, which garnered acclaim for its realistic, socially conscious approach to the subject of acquired immune deficiency syndrome, or AIDS.
		Kramer was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut, the son of George L. Kramer, an attorney, and Rea Wishengrad Kramer, a social worker.
		In 1981 Kramer co-founded the Gay Men's Health Crisis in response to the burgeoning AIDS crisis, but his tenure with the group was marked by continual conflict with the other members, and he was forced out in 1983.

	Larry Kramer - AIDS Wiki
		Larry Kramer (born 25 June 1935), American dramatist, author and gay rights activist, was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut and was educated at Yale University (class of 1957).
		Kramer was living in New York City when the AIDS epidemic began in 1981.
		After the November 2004 elections, Kramer gave a widely covered speech declaring that gay rights were "officially dead" in America, that most homosexuals were too busy with drugs or sex to care about their future, and that AIDS was exploited as part of a long-range plan by the government to exterminate homosexuals.

	Larry Kramer Speech at Cooper Union -- Towleroad for modern gay men,
		Kramer is upset because he can’t see many gay people as he once knew them, acting the way he liked seeing them act back in the 1960s and 1970s, in his heyday.
		Kramer’s generation excelled at sex and drugs, and now he is ‘scared to death’ and wants the next generation to learn from the old mistakes of his generation.
		Dec 6, 2004 3:20:27 PM What has Larry Kramer so queasy is his feeling that much of the "sexual self-exploration" that each generation of gay men participates in is not a positive, self-affirming exploration of identity, but is instead a hopeless, endless cycle of self-humiliation and hatred.

	Amazon.ca: Faggots: Books: Larry Kramer (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Kramer, at this point in his very interesting career, had overdosed on the vapid shallowness and callous, heartless promiscuity he saw all around him in Greater New York.
		Kramer manages to pull it all together in a Book that reveals a multi-faceted mosaic of all the faces and souls and all the tensions in an environment frought with everything but enduring love.
		Kramer's claim to fame, and to the thanks of many, will lie with his work as an activist in during the AIDS epidemic, an effort that initially at least probably benefited from his irascibility and megalomania, though in the end he abandoned his endeavors because he felt unappreciated here too.

	Morph: Larry Kramer: CBS will be web centric and bypass cable (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Marketwatch.com founder Larry Kramer, barely two months into his new job as president of CBS Digital, is rapidly implementing major changes to turn CBS News into what sounds like one of the most ambitious experiments in mass media journalism transparency.

	AIDS Decade in Review With Larry Kramer, Richard Marlink, MD, and Pernessa Seele
		Kramer: It's interesting that it's not a campaign issue, that nobody is asking Gore or Bush what they would do about getting drugs that American taxpayers have basically financed into the hands at a reasonable price of the rest of the world.
		When we started this conversation, Larry brought up the fact that we've seemingly underestimated in numbers, but now the dire numbers that were predicted 10 years ago are coming to pass, and new dire numbers up to the hundreds of millions, if not billions, are being touted now.
		Kramer: The person who asked that question wants us to say yes, so that they can go and go on their merry way and not have to do anything, not have to fight, not have to write a check, not have to make a phone call.

	Independent Gay Forum - Larry Kramer’s Jeremiad
		Kramer points to genuine injustices and the malign neglect of many gay concerns: equal treatment of gay relationships, the ban on immigration of foreign partners, anti-gay violence, the murder of gays abroad.
		Kramer is unjust to say that "our movement has confined its feeble demands to marriage." Nor does he acknowledge that marriage would solve some of the problems he lists--e.g., tax equality and partner immigration.
		I have followed Larry Kramer's work and twenty five year chronicle of what is still a national health disaster, and one thing is quite clear; his historical accuracy cannot be challenged.

		For Arthur Kramer, the reconciliation came as he accepted that his brother was not going to change and that being gay was a matter of biology, not choice or family dysfunction.
		Larry has a "Queer Eye" fashion sense, mixing denim overalls — to hide a waistline misshapen by the liver transplant he got because of hepatitis B — with an incongruously GQ pair of tasseled brown loafers.
		About the same time, Larry threatened to call a gay boycott of MCI, one of the Kramer firm's most lucrative clients, because MCI was being accused of discrimination by a former employee who was gay.

	Sex panic - Salon.com
		Veteran AIDS activist and playwright Larry Kramer is still denouncing young gay men for spreading HIV through reckless sex and drug use.
		To some, Kramer is a narcissistic gadfly whose passion for controversy and flagellation undermines the causes -- AIDS and the gay movement -- to which he so passionately devotes himself.
		Kramer writes that there's "a big empty space" in young gay men's lives; "America let these men who should have been your role models die." So, according to Kramer, this "big empty space" leads today's gays to "disdain anyone older who was there" and "condemn [our] predecessors to nonexistence."
