Larry Kramer (June 25, 1935 - May 27, 2020)
From the New York Times:
Larry Kramer is dead at 84. His raucous, antagonistic campaign for a response to the AIDS crisis helped shift U.S. policy in the 1980s and ’90s.
Mr. Kramer co-founded the Gay Men’s Health Crisis, the first service organization for H.I.V.-positive people, in 1981. His fellow directors effectively kicked him out a year later for his aggressive approach, and he returned the compliment by calling them “a sad organization of sissies.”
He was then a founder of a more militant group, Act Up (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power).R.I.P.
