LARRY

Larry Kramer has always been our angry young man.

Even though he is now 72, he still holds the place of honor.

He says out-loud the things that many of us think but do not say because we do not want to rock the boat.

He expresses anger that we did not even know we had.

Why Do Straights Hate Gays?

It is a good question, actually.

I understand all the theories from the religious (shaky premises) to threatened masculinity (maybe).

I think that it is the depth of it that is astonishing.

When Obama and Clinton take one day to say that 'no' they do not think that homosexuals are immoral, it is clear that they have been plotting the political calculus and not thinking or speaking from the heart.

I have personally reached the point where I do not expect 'love' from heterosexuals except for those who I meet in my daily life and who accept and love me personally.

Put a bunch of straights together into institutional life and the next thing you know, we are getting hate. It feeds on itself.

OK dear hetero-reader. I know that you do not hate me.

But what about all your compatriots?
