RIP Larry Kramer — Page 2

I can imagine. I'm I guess a little younger than you. I don't know many who died, but I was constantly being told when I was first coming out "So and so would be such a good role model for you." "Well, I'd like to meet him." "He died." It's the first thing you seemed to learn. "He died." Over and over and over. I can't imagine what it was like to experience that in real time.

And that Kramer could capture the time so effectively demonstrates what a great artist he was.

Mr. Kramer, so few like him...a brave, brave man.

Let's not forget this as well:

Here's a nice remembrance of Larry by writer Adam Green, son of Adolf Green and Phyllis Newman.

Adam Green in Vogue: A Righteous Fury and a Capacious Heart: Remembering Larry Kramer

Larry would not want his memory to be sugar-coated. He could spit venom and castigate friends and foes alike with the fire and brimstone of an Old Testament prophet. But then he would turn around and be pure love. I was lucky to be the recipient of both--the love more than the venom, thankfully.

He considered those of us who attended Act-Up meetings and demonstrations his "children," and we loved him like a parent, even though sometimes his seemingly disproportionate fury and rage would enrage us in return.
