I do not think the gay population has been all that rabid for gay marriage. Note that I do not use the words 'gay community.' Expunge that expression from your vocabulary. We are not a community. Larry Kramer communityexpressionexpunge Change image and share on social

The most important fact is that gays have been here since day one. To say otherwise is a gross denial and stupidity. We played an enormous part in the history of America. Larry Kramer americadaydenial Change image and share on social
