RIP Larry Kramer
Media liberals are going to whitewash Kramer. They've already co-opted his legacy to a great extent. But he was, in his idiosyncratic, obdurate, and almost monomaniacal way, a radical.
Here's Larry Kramer on Anthony Fauci, "the central focus of evil in the world"
ACT UP flyer targeting Fauci:
"You are a pill-pushing pimp that cooperates with drug companies in forcing dangerous concoctions down the throats of a desperate community that is brainwashed into believing that taking a pill, any pill, will help them." http://www.qrd.org/qrd/aids/orgs/ACTUP/sf/1995/fauci.zap.flyer-05.06.95

Kramer was controversial not just to the liberal establishment but also to the gay community bc of his polemics against promiscuity. Alan Cantwell, the progenitor of the AIDS-as-bioweapon theory, wrote a letter comparing one of Kramer's article to blaming Jews for the Holocaust
I didn't realize this, but apparently Kramer and Fauci became friends later in Kramer's life. I guess he softened in his old age. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/28/nyregion/coronavirus-larry-kramer-aids.html
Interesting clip from 1993 reflecting Kramer's "complicated" relationship with Fauci. "I love Tony...."
