Kramer spawned, then left, then led, then denounced, then galvanized ACT UP over the years, and he
is still doing so—a member to this day, despite its dramatically lowered profile. “I know it’s controversial, but I call myself the founder,” he says. “Because I
always felt it would not have been there but for me. Just as GMHC wouldn’t have been there but for me. That’s not ego, that is just overwhelming pride. That this sissy was able to start the two biggest gay fights going.”
