Larry Kramer Speaks Out Against ‘Stonewall’ Boycott Efforts: ‘Don’t Listen to the Crazies’

August 8, 2015 by Kyler Geoffroy Leave a Comment

Outspoken AIDS activist Larry Kramer is joining the chorus of voices speaking out against efforts to boycott the upcoming film Stonewall over its perceived white and cis-washing of the watershed gay rights event.

Wrote Kramer in a Facebook comment on fellow AIDS activist Peter Staley’s reposting of director Roland Emmerich’s statement on the controversy:

kramer2don’t listen to the crazies. for some reason there is a group of “activists” that insists on maintaining their prime importance and participation during this riot. unfortunately there seems no one left alive to say “it wasnt that way at all”, or “who are or where the fuck were you.” as with so much history there is no way to “prove” a lot of stuff, which allows artists such as yourself (and me I might add) to take essences and attempt to find and convey meaning and truth. i sincerely hope this boycott your film shit peters out. we are not dealing with another “Cruising” here. keeping your film from being seen is only hurting ourselves. good luck and thank you for your passion. larry kramer
