today we lost a titan. a warrior. an unflinching iconoclast. every single out and proud gay man stands on the shoulders of larry kramer. for his tireless advocacy. his searing intellect. his lifelong commitment to equality. and his singular impact on the fight against HIV/AIDS. we would literally not be where we are without him. and now without him we must carry on. his work is far from over… now it is all of our work. may he rest in peace.

Larry Kramer. I don’t have the words to properly express my gratitude, admiration , and love for you. Your writing was bold, courageous, and urgent. It educated, stirred people to action, and saved lives. A towering intellect and an amazing wit. My time with you is something I will treasure for the rest of my life. Rest In Peace my friend.

I’ve stared at this screen wondering what to say. Words fail. How do you even begin to thank a person who fought their entire adult life for your humanity, your dignity and your right to live? Thank you, Larry Kramer. Rest now. #LarryKramer

Larry Kramer’s passing is the saddest news. We have lost a giant of a man who stood up for gay rights like a warrior. His anger was needed at a time when gay men’s deaths to AIDS were being ignored by the American government: a tragedy that made the Gay Men’s Health Crisis and ACT UP movements so vital. He never stopped shouting about the injustices against us. His voice was the loudest and the most effective. Larry Kramer captured the outrage and spirit of these turbulent times in his brilliant play “The Normal Heart” along with his many other writings. I was proud to know him and his legacy must be maintained. My heart goes out to his beloved husband David Webster. Love, Elton @ejaf #RIP

Rest in power Larry Kramer. A loud and persistent voice for our community that undoubtedly saved lives during an awful time when our government failed us. Thank you for “acting up.” Your voice lives on in all who continue to fight for a better tomorrow. #hero #lgbt #lgbtq #actup #fightback #pride #larrykramer

Rest in Power Larry Kramer. I owe you so much. You taught me what visibility means and the tremendous power of our proud and painful history…that without a history, we cannot be a people. It was an honor and gift to know you.

Larry Kramer. A mythic figure in our lives. I never met Larry but it feels like a close member of my family has died. Larry Kramer. A name that will always be synonymous with speaking out when it’s inconvenient, with righteous anger, with saving my community from extinction. Thank you for fighting for us, thank you for pointing out our community’s willful ignorance when we did not want to hear it (we still don’t!), thank you for speaking out alone when you had to, thank you for caring so much, thank you for saving us. Silence = Death. RIP Larry Kramer. @actupny
