Larry Kramer
Larry Kramer and five friends founded Gay Men's Health Crisis in 1981, and it is still America's largest AIDS service provider. In 1987 he founded ACT UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power), the activist and protest organization, now with some 100 chapters around the world.
Kramer is a noted publicist and playwright and a graduate of Yale University. His novel Faggots has proved to be one of the best selling gay novels of all time. His play about the early days of the AIDS epidemic, The Normal Heart, holds the record for being the longest-running play at Joseph Papp's Public Theater in New York and so far has had some 600 productions worldwide. His current work includes The Destiny of Me, currently running off Broadway.
