Larry Kramer is an award-winning playwright and author, and a celebrated public-health and gay-rights advocate. He wrote the Academy Award-nominated screenplay adaptation of D. H. Lawrence’s "Women in Love" and rose to further prominence with the publication in 1978 of his bestselling novel, "Faggots." A pioneering AIDS activist, he cofounded the Gay Men’s Health Crisis in 1982 and founded ACT UP in 1987.
Kramer has won numerous awards for his plays and in 2013 was named a Master American Dramatist by the PEN/Laura Pels International Foundation for Theater. In 2014, the HBO adaptation of his play "The Normal Heart" won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Television Movie. The first volume of his decades-in-the-making book, "The American People," and an HBO documentary about his life, will both appear in April.
This event is presented by the Aspen Institute Arts Program. Mr. Kramer is interviewed by Program Director Damian Woetzel.
Thank you Mr. Kramer for also helping straight people like me realize the depth and complexity of homosexual identity and expression in such a real, human, honest way. You are like Lenny Bruce to me (A VERY high compliment in my book LOl!) Thank you for the courage, honesty, and strength you have shown through all these years, and been a champion that I have learned so much from. One conclusion I am sure of is that the human condition is basically the same for all of us; gay, straight, bisexual, transgender, whatever, we are all people and there is more that unites us in the end, than divides us.
Also this is my elderly father's you tube page, not mine. I am a 45 year old straight woman named Tanya, just to clarify for anyone who chooses to comment.
Rest In Peace Mr. Kramer
A Strong Man... Who shows leadershipsh in the face of adversity....
Thank you for taking on this TRUE history! I grew up and have returned to living in Key West, a place built and preserved by alternative lifestyles with 3MILLION visitors a year.
There's no "pride" living a disgusting life. Good riddance.
@Florence Guerlet well, I originally wrote it for your mom.
Why?
Who are you people? We've contributed immensely to the world over the centuries and you cant suppress that. Its just as much our world as it is yours. And what you get up to with pussy is disgusting if anything and it often leads to bringing children into this world who didn't consent to it.
